The Shaykh :[Al-Ahzab 33:50], and when He permitted him to marry Zaynab bint Jahsh, who was with Zayd ibn Harithah, He said [Al-Ahzab 33:37] after him? [Al-Ahzab 33:37] and He did not say "so that there would be no burden on you," even though the ruling was directed to whom?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : To the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so that indicates that what is established for the Messenger is established for the Ummah, and this is clear. For this reason, it is obligatory for us to be cautious of some scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) saying, when they are unable to reconcile between the hadiths, that this is specific to the Messenger. This is like another method followed by some scholars when they are unable to reconcile; they say this is abrogated. This is an error. Rather, if reconciling is difficult for you, say "Allah and His Messenger know best." If someone asks,[Al-Ahzab 33:21] Do you mean a good example? 'Aqil?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, and is it possible for there to be an example that is not good?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, it can be not good, and that is not following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) completely. For example, one may pray as the Messenger prayed, but there is a defect in his prayer. In this case, he has not taken him as a good example. The phrase has a concept, which is that those who take the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as an example may take him as a complete example, and this is the good example, O Ayub. And they may take him as an incomplete example, and this is an example, but it is incomplete. It also includes the use of the word "tasbih" (glorification) for prayer, due to his sayingSahih Muslim 689b, and from this is His saying in the Qur'an [Ar-Rum 30:17-18], for this verse is in explanation of the times of the five prayers. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh?
[this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers
خالِصَةً لَكَ مِن دونِ المُؤمِنينَSo when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you
فَلَمّا قَضى زَيدٌ مِنها وَطَرًا زَوَّجناكَهاin order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons
لِكَي لا يَكونَ عَلَى المُؤمِنينَ حَرَجٌ في أَزواجِ أَدعِيائِهِمThe questioner : ... .

were I to glorify (Him). I would have completed the prayer
لو كنت مسبحا لأتممت(17) So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning. (18) And to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon.
