Abu Layla’s remarks on the existence of those who distort the tapes of Shaykh Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Layla: My Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Abu Layla: In Houni, I presented to the brother that regarding the tapes, and sometimes changing what is in them, or bringing things forward or delaying things... My Shaykh, if you know, I mean, a man there who is trustworthy and loves the Shaykh and the da'wah, who deals with me, and who has positioned himself there as having the original tapes, so that whoever wants to come to the original comes to this man, he deals with me like many countries, I mean.
Al-Halabi: The others accuse you of changing and tampering.
Abu Layla: In any case, even my Shaykh, even Allah, Glorified is Allah, my Shaykh, I mentioned to you previously that the Society for the Revival of Heritage received from more than one source that they are tampering with the tapes, and finally, even on the hearing of our brother Ali, I met with one of those who works in this society and in the same recordings.
The Shaykh: Good.
Abu Layla: So he said, yes, this talk is true, but I swear by Allah, I have never once tampered with the tapes, and I was always contradicting the young men and saying to them, "O our brothers, do not tamper with the tapes or their numbers, for these have now become documents for the students of knowledge. So when the man comes to take the tape, what does he take for the Shaykh? There is no number except the publication of the Society for the Revival of Heritage, or as they mean, they speak in the introduction of their recordings." So Glorified is Allah, this brother, I mean, said to me, yes, I testify to that that they are tampering with the tapes.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Helper, Allah is the Helper. Their arrows are severe between them, and their hearts are diverse. Allah is the Helper. Now, what do you have?
The Shaykh: Yes.
