The Shaykh : We mentioned the way to resolve this objection by stating that the speech is a single sentence, and that his saying:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3508Sahih (Darussalam) refers back to what came before.
The questioner :.
The Shaykh : Yes, a hundred minus one is the same thing; this is merely a matter of emphasis.
