The reciter: Ali narrated to us that he heard Abu Bakr ibn 'Iyash say: "Abd al-'Aziz narrated to us, saying:
The Shaykh : It seems that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) understood from this questioner that he intended to dissent, and for this reason he did not clarify to him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) prayed in Mina, but rather he said: "Pray where your leaders pray". The question was not a question of difficulty, but perhaps a provocative question: Why does the leader, for example, pray in Makkah and then go out? For this reason, he did not inform him, but rather said: "Pray where your leaders pray". Yes.
The questioner : We said that in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they would declare their state of ihram from their idols at al-Safa. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) revealed His words regarding al-Safa. Is this the operative cause of the ruling, or part of the operative cause?
The Shaykh : Which one? It is not permissible for the operative cause to be multiple in a single ruling. Yes.
I met Anas, and Isma'il ibn Aban narrated to me, saying: Abu Bakr narrated to us from Abd al-'Aziz, saying: I went out to Mina on the Day of Tawriyah and met Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) going on a donkey. I said: Where did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray the Dhuhr prayer on this day? He said: Look where your leaders pray and pray.
