The Shaykh : We have previously spoken about the beginning of this hadith, and here is a discussion on it. First, when did this story take place? Ya Bandar?
The student: The Battle of Dhat al-Riqa'.
The Shaykh : Yes, and it is said?
The student: In the Battle of Tabuk.
The Shaykh : In the Battle of Tabuk, on his return, either from the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' or from the Battle of Tabuk. What is the difference between the two battles?
The questioner : In terms of time, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, the time.
The questioner : The Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' took place one year after the Battle of Uhud, whereas the Battle of Tabuk took place...
The Shaykh : Good, and when was the Battle of Uhud?
The questioner : In the second year.
The Shaykh : In the second year, so the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' would be in the third year.
The student: Shaykh, the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' was in the fourth year, after...
The Shaykh : Yes, good. What is the meaning of his saying "so it became exhausted"?
The student: It was tired.
The Shaykh : It was tired. Good. And his saying: "that he would let it go"?
The student: That he would leave it.
The Shaykh : Leave it. What is the difference between this letting go, O 'Abd Allah, and the letting go in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance?
The student: The letting go in the pre-Islamic age...
The Shaykh : The she-camel and the camel.
The student: ... they would let them go and forbid riding them and eating them, whereas this...
The Shaykh : Yes, good. His saying: "so he paid me its price", what does it mean, O 'Adil?
The student: He gave it to me.
The Shaykh : He gave it to me in cash?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Good. His saying: "you bargained with me", O Ghanim?
The student: Meaning you bargained with me.
The Shaykh : Meaning you bargained with me?!
The student: Meaning he asked him to...
The Shaykh : The bargaining, the hata'ah bargaining in the price, means asking to reduce it. Then, I think we started explaining?
The student: The benefits.
The Shaykh : The benefits, and we reached?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : How?
The student: Wasting wealth, if...
The Shaykh : Good, so it means we are stopping until he lets it go.
The student: ... stopping, if its benefits are suspended.
The Shaykh : Yes, good.
