The reader: "Then all the disagreement may be in the revelation and the letters, as in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, or it may be in the interpretation, as is possible in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, for the hadith of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb indicates that, if this story is correct. Ahmad said in *al-Musnad*: Ismail narrated to us, David ibn Abi Hind narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather ".
The Shaykh : This means that he came out with a reddened face, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, as if pomegranate seeds had burst on his face. Pomegranate seeds are red when they burst, meaning when they are pressed until their juice comes out onto a place, that place becomes red. Yes.

The Shaykh : And this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, yet many people are now obsessed with it, even among the students of knowledge. You find one tracking down texts that appear contradictory, then he raises them against himself first and doubts them, saying, 'How do you reconcile such and such? Why did Allah say such and such, and say such and such? Why did the Messenger say such and such, and say such and such?' You find that the most important thing for him is to reconcile the contradictory texts, then he raises them against himself or against others. And by Allah, this blocks the door to reconciliation. If a person follows this path, be assured that great doubts will arise in him and he will go astray. But if he holds to the path of the righteous Salaf and believes in the entire Book, these problems will not occur for him. For this reason, the Companions who disputed at the door of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), all of them disputed in the example: these said, 'Did not Allah say such and such?' and those said, 'Did not Allah say such and such?' Meaning, they wanted to deny the Qur'an with parts of it. They did not intend that, but these are problems. Therefore, I warn the students of knowledge against this, that their only concern is gathering the hadiths or verses that appear contradictory and then raising problems against them. But if they proceed on the basis that everything is in its place and nothing contradicts the other, they will be guided to the straight path and will be safe from this tracking. And for that reason, you will find that the safest people in method are those who stay away from such things. Beware of this, beware of this. You see that it is dangerous.
The reader: And he said, Yunus narrated to us, he said, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from
The Shaykh : Look, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the physician of bodies and souls. He said: As for striking the Book of Allah with parts of it, and how will He punish us when He is the One who decreed for us the sin, and such things that people raise, or such things, or saying, 'How does the verse say such and such, and the second verse say such and such?' I do not say that if a problem comes to you, do this, but that you track down these things, that is the error, and it is what leads to misguidance. Yes.
That a group of people were sitting at the door of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and some of them said, 'Did not Allah say such and such?' and some of them said, 'Did not Allah say such and such?' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard that and came out, and it was as if pomegranate seeds had burst on his face! He said, 'Is this what you were commanded?
أن نفرا كانوا جلوسا بباب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال بعضهم : ألم يقل الله كذا وكذا ؟ وقال بعضهم : ألم يقل الله كذا وكذا ؟ فسمع ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فخرج فكأنما فُقئ في وجهه حب الرمان ! فقال أبهذا أمرتم؟The Shaykh : This means that he came out with a reddened face, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, as if pomegranate seeds had burst on his face. Pomegranate seeds are red when they burst, meaning when they are pressed until their juice comes out onto a place, that place becomes red. Yes.

He said: 'Is this what you were commanded? Or is this what you were sent for? That you strike the Book of Allah with parts of it? Indeed, the nations before you went astray in such matters. You are not of what is here in any way. Look at what you were commanded and act upon it, and what you were forbidden from, then refrain from it'
فقال : أبهذا أُمرتم ؟ أو بهذا بعثتم ؟ أن تضربوا كتاب الله بعضه ببعض ؟ إنما ضلت الأمم قبلكم في مثل هذا ، إنكم لستم مما ههنا في شيء ، انظروا الذي أمرتم به فاعملوا به ، والذي نهيتم عنه فانتهوا عنهThe Shaykh : And this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, yet many people are now obsessed with it, even among the students of knowledge.
