Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "The second aspect of the evidence for scholarly consensus: that this principle, more than one of the Companions and the Tabi'un have been commanded to act upon it, at different times and in various cases, and it spread without anyone objecting to it. Qays ibn Abi Hazim reported: Riyad as-Salihin 1801"
The student: This is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance
The Shaykh : A practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, do you have a copy? As in the copy, it is omitted from
The reader:Sahih al-Bukhari 3834.
The Shaykh : He concealed himself from her (may Allah be pleased with him). Allah is the Greatest. Yes.
The reader: "Sahih al-Bukhari 3834 Al-Bukhari narrated it in *his Sahih*.
So Abu Bakr informed that absolute silence is not permissible, and he followed that with his statement:Sahih al-Bukhari 3834, intending thereby to criticize this practice and condemn it. Following the ruling with the description is evidence that the description is the operative cause, so it indicates that being a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance is a description that necessitates prohibiting it and preventing it. And the meaning of his statement: is that which the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance had exclusively and which was not legislated in Islam. This includes: everything adopted as worship from what the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance used to worship with, and Allah did not legisitate worshiping with it in Islam, even if He did not specifically mention it".
The Shaykh : I have it prohibited, do you have a copy? Did he not point to a copy?
The student: He did not refer to it.
The Shaykh : So: "did not prohibit".
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Perhaps it is ... .
The reader: "Even if He did not specifically prohibit it, such as whistling and clapping, for Allah the Exalted said regarding the disbelievers:[Al-Anfal 8:35].
And whistling is whistling and the like. And clapping is applauding. So adopting this as nearness and obedience is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, which was not legislated in Islam".
Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came upon a woman named Zainab from the Ahmas tribe and noticed that she was observing total silence. He said: "What has happened to her? Why does she not speak?'' People informed him that she had sworn to remain silent. He then said to her: "You should speak, it is not permissible (to observe silence), for it is an act of the Days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah)." (After hearing this) she started speaking.
دخل أبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه على امرأة من أحمس يُقال لها : زينب، فرآها لا تتكلم، فقال : ما لها لا تتكلم ؟ قالوا : حجّت مصمتة، فقال لها : تكلمي ! فإن هذا لا يحل، هذا عملُ الجاهلية، فتكلمت فقالت : من أنت ؟The student: This is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance

The reader:
So she spoke and said, "Who are you?" He said, "A man from the Emigrants."
فتكلمت فقالت : من أنت ؟ قال : امرؤ من المهاجرينThe Shaykh : He concealed himself from her (may Allah be pleased with him). Allah is the Greatest. Yes.
The reader: "
She asked, "Which Emigrants?" He replied, "From Quraish." She asked, "From what branch of Quraish are you?" He said, "You ask too many questions; I am Abu Bakr." She said, "How long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e. Islamic religion) which Allah has brought after the period of ignorance?" He said, "You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regulations." She asked, "What are the Imams?" He said, "Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So they (i.e. the Imams) are those whom I meant."
قالت : أي المهاجرين ؟ قال : من قريش . قالت : من أي قريش ؟ قال : إنك لسؤول ! وقال : أنا أبو بكر، قالت : ما بقاؤنا على هذا الأمر الصالح الذي جاء الله به بعد الجاهلية ؟ قال : بقاؤكم عليه ما استقامت لكم أئمتكم، قالت : وما الأئمة ؟ قال : أما كان لقومكم رءوس وأشراف يأمرونهم فيطيعونهم ؟! قالت : بلى، قال : فهم أولئك على الناسSo Abu Bakr informed that absolute silence is not permissible, and he followed that with his statement:
as it is an action of the pre-islamic period of ignorance
هذا من عمل الجاهليةA practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance
من عمل الجاهليةThe Shaykh : I have it prohibited, do you have a copy? Did he not point to a copy?
The student: He did not refer to it.
The Shaykh : So: "did not prohibit".
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Perhaps it is ... .
The reader: "Even if He did not specifically prohibit it, such as whistling and clapping, for Allah the Exalted said regarding the disbelievers:
And their prayer at the House was not except whistling and handclapping
وما كان صلاتُهم عند البيت إلا مكاءً وتصديةًAnd whistling is whistling and the like. And clapping is applauding. So adopting this as nearness and obedience is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, which was not legislated in Islam".
