Ibn Hazm says that some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are like the excellence of the prophets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Ibn Hazm says: Some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are like the excellence of the prophets, and he used this as evidence that the wives of the Prophet will be gathered with him, and that the rank of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is higher than the rank of some of the prophets? What do you say, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This is one of his exaggerations, because their residence at the rank of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) does not indicate their inherent excellence. This is from the honor of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him); so their high status there is a consequence of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), not independent. It is a consequence of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), not independent. And if they were not the wives of the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), they would not have deserved this rank. So their excellence here in status is not for their own sake, nor for their deeds. But it is for the sake of honoring the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), so they are a consequence. This is strange. May Allah have mercy on him. May Allah forgive us and him. Yes.

The Shaykh : Are you sure he said it this way?
The questioner : Yes, in the fatwas he responded to him...
The Shaykh : Ah. Yes.
The questioner : The Shaykh al-Islam says "... the Book, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus" and he did not mention analogical reasoning. Is the one who rejects scholarly consensus and that analogical reasoning is not...
The Shaykh : No, no. Matters of religious knowledge generally do not involve analogical reasoning. It is practical matters that involve analogical reasoning, in any case. As for matters of religious knowledge, analogical reasoning does not apply to them.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no. We do not say it is a matter of legal ruling. Analogical reasoning applies to it.
The questioner : Scholarly consensus, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Scholarly consensus, without doubt. How?
The questioner : ... the one who rejects scholarly consensus.
The Shaykh : The one who rejects scholarly consensus, if it is established, it is known that he is misguided. In fact, some scholars say he becomes a disbeliever if he opposes scholarly consensus; he becomes a disbeliever. And some of them distinguish between the apparent, clear scholarly consensus where the scholars, where the people do not differ, such as the prohibition of unlawful sexual intercourse and the like. Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh... . 'Umar’s saying to Abu 'Ubaydah:. His statement would be better... .
The Shaykh : No, he used as evidence, he used as evidence the hadith, because the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) named him the trustee of this Ummah, the trustee of this Ummah.
The questioner : Would he be better than 'Uthman and 'Ali?
The Shaykh : In terms of trustworthiness, as long as the Messenger testified to his trustworthiness. But the matter is not so now. The matter is not so. Abu 'Ubaydah may have passed away and the issue ended. The time has ended.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Regarding what remains of the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community concerning the Companions, we have previously mentioned three hadiths. I would like to assign them to you for tracing them to their sources.
