The Shaykh : It also contains the point that disagreement for the sake of honor and humility is not considered a sin. Abu Bakr disagreed when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to stay, but he did not stay; he disagreed and then returned. However, did he return in disobedience to the Messenger (peace be upon him) and in opposition to him? No, on the contrary, it was out of honor and exaltation for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The scholars derived from this that disagreement for the sake of honor is not considered a sin, and the one who disagrees is not described as a sinner. Based on this, if your father orders you to do something and you refuse out of honor for your father, that is not undutifulness to parents, because that is not a sin. It also contains the point that if something happens to people during prayer, it is prescribed for men to say tasbih and for women to clap their hands. It also contains the point that any matter that befalls a person, whether it relates to prayer or not, he should say tasbih, based on his saying: This is general. It also contains an indication that a woman should not raise her voice in front of men, even in the context of worship, which is further removed from temptation, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the women in this situation to clap. It also contains evidence, among the benefits of the hadith, that if a person lowers himself in humility, he is not to be blamed, based on his saying: "It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah." This is a kunyah (patronymic), but it does not indicate a title or anything involving praise. However, Abu Bakr placed himself in this position alongside the exaltation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Now, in the hadith, his saying: This is a guess, and... meaning, proceed. Its original form is "proceed," but the fā' of pausing often occurs in such cases. It also contains, among the benefits of the hadith, evidence for inquiring about a matter, either to know the explanation of its aspect or due to ignorance of it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan an-Nasa'i 793Sahih (Darussalam) He asked why he was delayed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered him to stay. This is evidence that a person inquires to clarify the aspect of the matter, not because he is ignorant of the thing.
