The questioner : The hadith Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 20:163 Is this a warning against not excusing a slip?
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah! You think that if something is a cause, there are no other causes besides it. There are many causes for excusing a slip, so this is one cause for excusing a slip, and if a person does not do it, it is said from another perspective.
