Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And he narrated with his chain from al-Bukhari, the author of the *Sahih*, who said: He said, he said to me, Ibn Abi Maryam informed us, Nafi' ibn Yazid, that he heard Salman ibn Abi Zaynab and 'Amr ibn al-Harith, that he heard Sa'id ibn Salama, that he heard Aban, that he"
The Shaykh : Heard Salman, what?
The reader: Heard Sa'id ibn Salama
The Shaykh : No, no, it is incomplete
The reader: That he, he said, he said to me, Ibn Abi Maryam informed us, Nafi' ibn Yazid, that he heard Salman ibn Abi Zaynab
The Shaykh : Is it like that with you?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Here, yes
The reader: In my margin it says "It is Sulayman ibn Abi Zaynab al-Shami, so it is in *al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil*" and in the footnote it says "Al-Sabai, see *al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil*, and in all manuscripts it is Salman, and it is likely a mistake by the copyists"
The Shaykh : Sulayman, yes
The reader: "That he heard Sulayman ibn Abi Zaynab and 'Amr ibn al-Harith, that he heard Sa'id ibn Salama, that he heard Aban, that he heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) say: Avoid the enemies of Allah in their festival
And he narrated with a sound chain from Abu Usamah, who said: 'Awf narrated to us, from Abu al-Mughirah, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, that he said: Whoever builds in the lands of the non-Arabs and makes their Nowruz and their festival, and imitates them until he dies in that state, will be resurrected with them on the Day of Resurrection
And he said: This is how Yahya ibn Sa'id, Ibn Abi 'Adi, Ghandar, and 'Abd al-Wahhab narrated it from 'Awf, from Abu al-Mughirah, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, as his own statement
And with the chain to Abu Usamah, from Hammad ibn Zayd, from Hisham, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, who said: 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought a Nowruz gift, and he said: What is this? They said: O Commander of the Faithful, this is the day of Nowruz. He said: Then make every day a Nowruz. Abu Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Usamah said: He (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked to say Nowruz"

The student: There is a commentary, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : There is a commentary, what did you say, are you Khalid?
The student: Khalid
The student: It means it has no commentary, it says in *al-Sunan al-Kubra* "Firuz with a fa, and it appears to me that it is more correct because he disliked to say Nowruz according to Abu Usamah's reasoning, so he said Firuz"
The Shaykh : I have Nowruz, there is no problem with this commentary you have
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Firuz
The student: Yes.
The student: An explanation of his saying "He (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked to say Nowruz"
The Shaykh : Do you have something, you?
The student: I ...
The Shaykh : Does the meaning of "Make every day a Nowruz" mean "Make every day a Nowruz"? Does it mean that this food came and he liked it, so he wanted them to make something like it every day? That is what I want. As for Firuz or Nowruz, that is another matter. It is possible in reality that he intended to disapprove, that his intention was to disapprove of them. And it is possible that he liked this food and said "Make every day a Nowruz" Yes
