regarding the approval of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of Urwah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Shaykh! Does the approval of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of Urwah not indicate that the action of a non-authorized agent is permissible and there is no harm in it, because he did not say: "Do not do such and such," nor did he guide him to anything, but rather he prayed for him and approved of him?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: I mean, what is the aspect of the one who prevented it?
The Shaykh : What we mentioned to you?
The student: The exclusivity.
The Shaykh : I mean, how did they respond to the hadith?
The student: Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : They responded to it with one of two things: either that it is weak, as al-Bukhari and Abu Dawud weakened it.
The student: al-Bukhari did not weaken it!
The Shaykh : How? What is it with you?
The student: It is the first one, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes? Yes, the first one: But in the explanation you have with you, *Subul al-Salam*, look?!
The student: "And al-Bukhari included it within a hadith, but did not quote its wording, and al-Tirmidhi provided a corroborating narration from the hadith of Hakim ibn Hizam. In the chain of the hadith is Sa'id ibn Zayd, the brother of Hammad, about whom there is disagreement. Al-Mundhiri and al-Nawawi said: Its chain is good and authentic, and there is much discussion about it. And the author said: The correct view is that it is connected, though there is an ambiguous link in its chain, and the hadith indicates that Urwah..."
The Shaykh : Yes, and some of them weakened it, and some of them said: This is from the specific attributes of the Messenger, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him.
The student: If it is from the specific attributes of the Messenger, he would have informed [us].
The Shaykh : There is no doubt, but some people, when their excuses run out, say: This is from the specific attributes, or this is abrogated, or something like that. The correct statement is that it is permissible.
The questioner : Shaykh, if a person must, when he appoints someone to buy something for him and he adds something with it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order him to return it!
The Shaykh : Has not?
The student: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say to him: "Bring the rest," and the prayer for him indicates that this is kindness, it indicates that it is kindness from him.
The Shaykh : Fine, but whose is the money?
The student: How?
The Shaykh : Whose is the money?
The student: The money belongs to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : And the profit?
The student: The profit belongs to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but this man...
The Shaykh : Fine.
The student: With his cleverness, he profited the money.
The Shaykh : It does not contradict, but is the profit of the money not for its owner?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Just as the principal must be returned, the profit must be returned. If the Messenger did not deserve it, he would have said: "It is not for me." Since it is established that he deserves it, it is obligatory to return it to him. Clear? Yes.
The student: Shaykh, I bought a garment from a shopkeeper. He said: The garment is two hundred and ninety, so I gave him three hundred. Will he return to me, I mean, forty riyals, I mean seventy riyals, and I know that he profits more than one hundred riyals, for example, on the garment. Is it permissible for me to take the profit?
The Shaykh : No, no, no, it is not permissible, because the sale was not for ninety. You must be restricted. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: I mean, what is the aspect of the one who prevented it?
The Shaykh : What we mentioned to you?
The student: The exclusivity.
The Shaykh : I mean, how did they respond to the hadith?
