The questioner :Sunan Abi Dawud 3252 Does it mean that Aflah and his father succeeded?
The Shaykh : No one says this except a person who knows absolutely nothing of the Arabic language, and he wants to imply that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also did not know Arabic. It is either "Aflah and his father" as a companion of the object, or "Aflah and his father," but this is not acceptable.
The questioner : Aflah and the father of his father?
The Shaykh : And this is not acceptable, because when the possessed is omitted, the possessor takes its place.
He became successful, by his father, if he speaks the truth
