Continuation of the question: Is it correct that the meaning of the hadith: (Aflah wa Abih) means Aflah and his father?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... and he wants to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know Arabic either, either Aflah wa Abih as a companion of the object, or Aflah wa Abuh, but this is not suitable
The questioner : Perhaps he means and his father
The Shaykh : And this is not suitable either, because if it is deleted, the thing to which it is attributed takes its place, you want to delete the oath and the thing by which the oath is made now, yes, and then the estimation: and his father is also not permissible for us to say, because if this is the correct one, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from it to an ambiguous expression, this becomes contrary to his conveying (peace and blessings be upon him) and his eloquence, and this is also a point that must be understood, meaning if it is permissible to estimate it linguistically or consider it rationally, it is not permissible with regard to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because Aflah and his father is clear, the permissibility in it is clear, and Aflah and his father is ambiguous, so how would the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turn away from the clear expression to the ambiguous one, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) is commanded with the clear conveying[Al-Ma'idah 5:92], and this is a point that you must understand, O people, pay attention to it, you see some scholars want to get out of the dilemma with such estimations without thinking about what follows from that
The questioner : ... response to
The Shaykh : No, some of it is not a response to it, some of it is fine, but the last thing I told you is that let us suppose that all the aspects became weak, the hadith remains from the ambiguous, so we turn to the clear and say what we answer with.
He and his father

The Shaykh : And this is not suitable either, because if it is deleted, the thing to which it is attributed takes its place, you want to delete the oath and the thing by which the oath is made now, yes, and then the estimation: and his father is also not permissible for us to say, because if this is the correct one, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from it to an ambiguous expression, this becomes contrary to his conveying (peace and blessings be upon him) and his eloquence, and this is also a point that must be understood, meaning if it is permissible to estimate it linguistically or consider it rationally, it is not permissible with regard to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because Aflah and his father is clear, the permissibility in it is clear, and Aflah and his father is ambiguous, so how would the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turn away from the clear expression to the ambiguous one, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) is commanded with the clear conveying
then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
