The Shaykh : After, in my copy: after disbelief.
The reciter: Short of, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And what do you have? By Allah, the apparent reading is "short of," but all the copies you have say: "after"?
The questioner : All of them...
The Shaykh : And did the commentator not address it? Do you have the commentary, Mustafa? Yes.
The questioner : ....
The Shaykh : Yes, but the second copy says "after."
The reciter: "And as for the author's statement 'and disbelief short of disbelief,' he pointed to a report narrated by Ahmad in his Book of Faith through the route of 'Ata ibn Abi Rabah and others, and his statement therein is from Abu Sa'id...".
The Shaykh : How do you say it, in your copy?

The questioner : ...

The reciter: 'Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from 'Ata ibn Yasar from Ibn 'Abbas who said:
The Shaykh : In it is from Ibn Sa'id, what do you have?
The reciter: In it is from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
'Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam.
The Shaykh : The hadith that was pointed to, the hadith that he pointed to?
The reciter: In it is from Abu Sa'id?
The Shaykh : In it is from Abu Sa'id, what is the hadith?
The reciter: "That is, the hadith narrated by Abu Sa'id falls under this chapter, and in a narration by Karimah it is from Abu Sa'id, meaning it is reported from Abu Sa'id. The benefit of this is pointing out that the hadith has a route other than the one cited. Abu Sa'id's hadith was cited by the author in the chapter on Menstruation and others through the route of 'Iyad ibn 'Abdullah from him, and in it is his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) to the women:Sahih al-Bukhari 1462 So they said: Why, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 304 The hadith. It is also possible that he intends Abu Sa'id's hadith as well: Sunan Abi Dawud 4811Sahih (Al-Albani) as stated by the Qadi Abu Bakr mentioned. The first is more apparent and more in line with the author's custom, and it is supported by his citing Ibn 'Abbas's hadith with the wording: and the spouse is the husband. It was said to him: 'Ashir means companion... ". Complete it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, that is enough. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) intended by this heading that disbelief may not mean the disbelief that expels one from the religion; it may mean ingratitude toward the spouse, or ingratitude for blessings, or something similar. Then, disbelief also—legal disbelief—may mean disbelief short of disbelief, meaning it is among the characteristics of disbelief and not all of it, such as his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): And the meaning of: is that they are among the characteristics of disbelief. Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim when he mentioned or pointed to the disbelief of the one who abandons prayer: "Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Sahih Muslim 82b, so he used the definite article 'al' indicating the reality", he said: "And he distinguished between mentioning disbelief with 'al' and mentioning it without 'al'", for mentioning it without 'al' does not mean the disbelief that expels one from the religion, and this is an apparent distinction, yes.
