The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it, and there is no obstacle to it, but this is not derived from this hadith, because his statement: "Ibn Mas'ud was absent" could mean that he saw the questioner was in doubt or uncertain about this, or it could mean that he himself, meaning he was not certain about this, there is a possibility.
