Benefits of the Hadith: (… that 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr stood in Makkah and said

The Shaykh : In the words of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), there is severity, but he was the caliph, and the one issuing the ruling at that time was 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). He was severe in this statement because he was the imam with authority, and he was also relying on a sunnah (recommended practice) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is no wonder that he was severe in this statement and referred to 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas, because 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas lost his sight in the last part of his life, so he referred to him (may Allah be pleased with him). As for his statement that it was done during the time of the Imam of the God-fearing, meaning if there were something to be feared, the people most deserving of fearing it would be the Imam of the God-fearing. And the Messenger of Allah did not say it, and the Messenger is well known, but he said the Imam of the God-fearing, as if he is saying if this were something to be feared, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have feared it. In any case, there is no doubt that the correct position in this issue is with 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
