Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Should we say that Mu'adh's question to the Messenger in his statement: is of the kind of question prohibited in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:101]? Because the principle in listening to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is that the principle is to convey it, so why...?
The Shaykh : What do you say about this question? He says: Is Mu'adh's statement: of the kind of question that is not appropriate, so it falls under his saying: [Al-Ma'idah 5:101]? If he had remained silent until the hadith was conveyed without being prohibited from conveying it, Ibn Dawud?
The questioner : There is an indication that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed him between himself and him; this is an indication that it is...
The Shaykh : Yes, okay?
The questioner : It is not prohibited, and it is not of this kind, because the meaning of his saying:[Al-Ma'idah 5:101] is that you ask about things for which nothing has come, and then it is legislated because of your question, and here there is no legislation.
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning here the text has come with it.
The questioner : Yes,
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, and otherwise, the mere fact that Mu'adh was a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not necessitate that it be a secret, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) was a companion, and Ibn Abbas was a companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a donkey, so he said to him: and so on.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تسألوا عن أشياء أن تبد لكم تسؤكمThe Shaykh : What do you say about this question? He says: Is Mu'adh's statement:
