Commentary on Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim-08b

The reader: "And in this regard is what is in the two Sahihs from Anas ibn Malik, who said:

Three people came to the Prophet’s wives and asked how the Prophet conducted his worship. When they were told about it they seemed to consider it little and said, “What a difference there is between us and the Prophet whose former and latter sins have been forgiven him by God!” One of them said

جاء ثلاثة رهطٍ إلى بيوت أزواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يسألون عن عبادة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما أُخبروا كأنهم تقالوها، فقالوا : وأين نحن من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قد غَفر له اللهُ ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر ؟ فقال أحدهم

" ..

The Shaykh : In my copy, it is "Allah has forgiven him."
The reader: The deferral of the Divine Name from...

The Shaykh : No, ours is better because the principle for the doer is that it should follow
The student: the verb

The Shaykh : the verb, and the principle for the doer is that it should be connected.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Perhaps the Shaykh took it from another manuscript.
The reader: He spoke about another place, not our place.
The student: Yes, he is speaking about a place where it says "one of them said."

The Shaykh : Yes, write it down from Mas'ud's errors, yes.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : We are finished, men. Two witnesses testified.
The reader: "

Allah has forgiven him what came before of his sin and what came after. So one of them said: "As for me, I will pray the night forever." And the other said: "I will fast the whole year forever." And the other said: "I will keep away from women and will not marry forever." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them and said: "Are you the ones who said such and such? By Allah, I am the most afraid of Allah among you and the most mindful of Him. But I fast and I break the fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me"

قد غفر له الله ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر . فقال أحدهم : أما أنا فأصلي الليل أبداً .
وقال الآخر : أنا أصومُ الدهر أبدا .
وقال الآخر : أنا أعتزلُ النساء فلا أتزوج أبدا .
فجاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إليهم فقال : أنتم الذين قلتم كذا وكذا ؟ أما والله إني لأخشاكم لله وأتقاكم له، ولكني أصوم وأُفطر، وأُصلي وأرقد، وأتزوج النساء، فمن رغب عن سنتي فليس مني

, Al-Bukhari narrated it, and this is his wording, and Muslim narrated it, and his wording is: From Anas:

That a group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his secret work. So some of them said: "I will not marry women." And some of them said: "I will not eat meat." And some of them said: "I will not sleep on a bed. So he praised Allah and gave thanks, and said: "What is the matter with a group of people

أن نفراً من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سألوا أزواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن عمله في السر فقال بعضهم : لا أتزوجُ النساء . وقال بعضهم : لا آكلُ اللحم . وقال بعضهم : لا أنام على فراش. فحمد الله وأثنى فقال : ما بال أقوام

" .

The Shaykh : He praised him.
The reader: "

So he praised Allah and gave thanks to Him, and said: "What is the matter with a group of people who said such and such? But I pray and I sleep, I fast and I break the fast, and I marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me"

فَحَمد الله وأثنى عليه فقال : ما بال أقوام قالوا كذا وكذا ؟ لكني أصلي وأنام، وأصوم وأُفطر، وأتزوج النساء، فمن رغب عن سنتي فليس مني
