The questioner : ... What the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned regarding 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was narrated by him using the form of weakness. He said: "It is reported." Does this indicate that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) considers it weak?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Such a formulation among the scholars indicates weakness. In reality, it means that a person is in doubt about this, namely that 'A'ishah uncovered the Prophet's grave in order for rain to fall upon it and to mention the mercy of Allah. Yes.
