regarding the ruling on the statement of a Companion: “We were commanded” or “We were forbidden”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh... When the Companions said “We were commanded,” if we look at the hadith of Aisha... and considering Aisha’s trustworthiness and eloquence in speech, we know that Aisha understood the wording and said to the questioner: “We were commanded,” and that she was aware of the ruling and the wording.
The Shaykh : Yes, in any case, there is a difference between the Companion understanding the meaning and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanding it, and the Companion preserving the wording itself. Yes, that is right. Otherwise, there is no doubt that if he had said the wording itself, that would have been better. Yes, and let us move on.
