The questioner : Shaykh, we said that: Sahih Muslim 41 By its implication, does it include the dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) and the musta'min (a non-Muslim granted safe conduct)?
The Shaykh : No, we said that the implication is detailed. As for one who is respected, the Muslim does not dominate him with his tongue or his hand.
The questioner : How do you reconcile this with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 5205Sahih (Al-Albani)?
The Shaykh : The meaning is that you do not give them the space, not that I push him until he reaches the house. No, and the Messenger did not treat the Jews in Medina this way, nor the Muslims.
The questioner : Is this not a lack of the qualities of peace?
The Shaykh : It is never peace. He is given his rights, the covenant, the dhimmah (protection) between us and them. They are given their rights, but they are not placed above the Muslims or equal to the Muslims.
The questioner :Sunan Abi Dawud 5205Sahih (Al-Albani) What is its meaning?
The Shaykh : Its meaning is that you do not expand the space for them. For example, if the road is narrow and three Muslims and three non-Muslims meet on it, it is not permissible for the Muslim to step back, one or two of them, to make room for these people. Rather, let the narrowness be upon them. It does not mean that if you find them, you go and push them into the narrowest part, because the Sunnah explains some of it by some of it.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the end, the time is over.
A Muslim is he from whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe.
المسلم من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويدهThe Shaykh : No, we said that the implication is detailed. As for one who is respected, the Muslim does not dominate him with his tongue or his hand.
The questioner : How do you reconcile this with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
force them to go to the narrowest part of it
