Do you dislike it if a student brings a commentary with him and wants to inquire about a specific phrase, or wants to present what he has of the commentary during the lesson?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. Allah is not shy about the truth... seeking guidance... sometimes... the commentator finds a difficulty in it and wants to ask you for clarification on the meaning of this statement... do you dislike this...
The Shaykh : Yes, I dislike it intensely because it is a lack of proper conduct. This matter is not a study session; this is a place of teaching. However, if it were a study session where everyone has a book, and this one mentions this and that one mentions that, there is no harm. But this is a place of teaching. And as for the thing... regarding the hadiths, I am not stingy with you; I will tell you what I know, and there is no need for more. If we were to open this door, everyone would provide a commentary on al-Bukhari and a commentary on Muslim, and everyone would say, "This commentary says so and so." So you and Hajjaj, but perhaps you two will not return to this, yes.
