Explanation of the Book of Purification-16

The Shaykh :"And from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him):

That in the letter

أن في الكتاب

" to the end of it:
The apparent wording in my copy, and it appears that this is a printer's error: "from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)." On the surface, this suggests it is Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, but that is not the case. Rather, this is 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm, not Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. I do not know if all the copies contain "may Allah be pleased with him"?
The student: May Allah have mercy on him.

The Shaykh : Who said: May Allah have mercy on him? Do you have "may Allah have mercy on him" in your text?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : This is the correct one, and therefore you must correct it.
The student: In a footnote.

The Shaykh : What is the footnote?
The student: His statement: "It is 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm".

The Shaykh : Ibn Muhammad.
The student: He did not mention it.

The Shaykh : Do you have *Subul al-Salam*? It appears that it is Ibn Muhammad, yes?
The student: Ibn Muhammad.

The Shaykh : Ibn Muhammad, good, because 'Amr ibn Hazm is his grandfather, good, the important point is...
The student: And from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr, he is the son of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and his mother is Asma'.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed, this is one error stacked upon another. No, no, write "may Allah have mercy on him."
And from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) :
'Amr ibn Hazm is the grandfather of the father of 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr; he is his grandfather. And this is the point of connection in his transmitting this letter written for 'Amr ibn Hazm.
He said: :
"In the letter, let no one touch": This expression indicates that there are other matters in the letter besides this, because his statement: : means that there are other issues in this letter, and that is indeed the case. It contains many issues, and the author of *al-Ilmam* mentioned it in its complete form, containing many issues regarding blood money, zakah, and others. There are many issues, and for this reason, this hadith was transmitted by mass transmission (mutawatir), became famous among the scholars, was accepted by them, and they derived many issues from it.
: The Qur'an referred to here is what the Qur'an was written on, meaning the mushaf, the tablet, the papers, the stones. This is what is meant.
: Because the Qur'an referred to is not the speech itself, since speech is not touched but is heard. What is meant is what the Qur'an was written on, such as papers, stones, and the like.
: The word "pure" (tahir): Some scholars said: meaning, except a believer. They cited as evidence for this the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . And if he is not impure, he must be pure, because impurity and purity are two opposing things.
And some scholars said: meaning, except one who has performed wudu', i.e., one who is pure from minor and major ritual impurity. They cited as evidence the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, when He mentioned wudu', ghusl, and tayammum, He said: : So Allah named wudu', ghusl, and tayammum for those who could not perform them as purification.
And He said: . They responded to the argument of the others by saying: It is not known in the Qur'an or the Sunnah to describe the believer as "the pure one" (al-tahir). Rather, "pure" is a description of him, and it is not used as a term for him. Search to see if there is any expression in the Qur'an and the Sunnah describing the righteous and the believers as "the pure ones"?
There is none. But the believer is described as one who does not become impure. If that is the case, it is very unlikely that "the pure one" here means the believer.
"Malik narrated it as a mursal, and al-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban connected it, and it is defective":
The hadith scholars differed regarding its connection and its being mursal. But the fame of this letter, the acceptance of the scholars of it, and their derivation of rulings from it, indicates that it has a valid basis, and that is indeed the case. This is what the scholars mentioned in terminology regarding what strengthens a mursal report if it is accepted. If its transmission among people and its fame among them indicate that it is authentic, and it is indeed authentic.
