The reciter: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, saying: Shu'ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri. He said: Abu 'Abdullah said, and Ibn Wahb said: Yunus informed us, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Thawr, from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas, from 'Umar, that he said: .
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. This taking turns in knowledge is permissible, meaning it is permissible for a person to agree with a companion of his, where he attends the lesson one day and his companion attends another day, and he brings him what he heard. This was the case with people who had the memory to retain what occurred. As for the present time, memories are weak, but Allah has provided a replacement for them, and praise be to Allah, which are recordings. So recordings now suffice for taking turns; his companion comes with the recording, and then the other one listens to everything in the recording. This is a blessing from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
I and a neighbor of mine from the Ansar, in Banu Umayyah ibn Zayd, which is one of the upper districts of Madinah, used to take turns visiting the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He would come one day and I would come another. When I came, I would bring him the news of that day regarding revelation and other matters. And when he came, he would do the same. My Ansari neighbor came on his turn and knocked on my door with a strong knock. He said: Is he there? I was startled and went out to him. He said: A great matter has happened. I went in to Hafsa and found her crying. I said: Has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divorced you? She said: I do not know. Then I went in to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, while standing: Have you divorced your wives? He said: No. I said: Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest).
