We passed through the hadith of Anas in which he said that the Prophet never ate it and never did it. How is this, when Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not accompany the Prophet before the migration, nor in all his circumstances in Medina?

The questioner : It was mentioned to us in the hadith of Anas that he said the Prophet never ate it and never did it. It is known that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not accompany the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before his arrival in Medina, nor after his arrival in Medina in all his circumstances. So this negation is absolute, which implies that... I am confused. How is this, when Anas did not accompany the Prophet in every state?

The Shaykh : The answer to this is given in one of two ways: either it is said that the Messenger informed Anas of this, or it is said that Anas reported it according to his knowledge.

The questioner : He said "never," he did not say...

The Shaykh : Yes, if he had not said this, but had said "I have never seen him do it according to my knowledge," then if it is established that the Messenger did the opposite of what was negated, it must be understood as being according to his knowledge. And if it is not established, we say that perhaps the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed him of it, for the Messenger sometimes told his Companions about what happened to him. Yes.
