The questioner : So, since the hadiths are authentic and have been transmitted by the later generations from the earlier ones.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And by the later generations we mean the Tabi'un, from the Companions and from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how did this disagreement arise?
The Shaykh : I do not know what its origin is.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I do not know the origin of this disagreement, but whatever it is, the origin of the disagreement does not concern us; what concerns us is the reality.
The questioner : Was it not narrated from any of the Imams?
The Shaykh : I do not know.
The questioner : Yes, his second question, or in this episode, or the fourth in his letter, asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to delay the prayer from its time with the glorifications (tahlil), and when is that permissible?
The Shaykh : With what?
The questioner : With the glorifications (tahlil).
The Shaykh : With the glorifications (tahlil)?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Delay the prayer from its time?
The questioner : Yes, he asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to delay the prayer from its time with the glorifications (tahlil)? And I have repeated this question many times and reiterated it, hoping to find [an answer], but Brother Sa'id Abu Bakr is considered to have a very good, indeed excellent, line of thought, so I did not find [an answer] to that unless he means, that is... the remembrance (tasbih) before the prayer and waiting for the prayer, so that he is in a state of prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer?
The Shaykh : What is the need... for us to repeat the answer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He may repeat the prayer a second time if he wishes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
