An explanation of the extent of the Shaykh's concern and diligence in reviewing the verification of hadiths and referring to the original sources to obtain the correct results, even if that contradicts what he had previously written
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Tomorrow, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, the hadith is still under discussion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I found it in *Shu'ab al-Iman*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I found a commentary on *al-Mishkat*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That is, attached to the hadith, extracted via the route of al-Tabarani.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And its chain of narration is weak.
The questioner : Its chain of narration is weak.
The Shaykh : But be patient.
The questioner : I am being patient, oh!
The Shaykh : Then I continued the research and extracted the hadith from *Shu'ab al-Iman*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Which was attributed to it in *al-Mishkat*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because when "al-Mishkat" was verified.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : "Shu'ab al-Iman" had not yet been printed.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And in the last few days, it has been printed.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So I returned now to its chain of narration in *Shu'ab al-Iman*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I found it to be a chain of narration different from al-Tabarani's weak chain.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So I am currently in the process of researching it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And it has not become clear to me yet whether it is weak, as it appears in the initial glance, but this initial glance is not sufficient for assurance and reliance upon it; it is necessary to continue the research. I am currently in this continuation, so please contact me tomorrow, if Allah wills.
The questioner : You have outdone me, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, this benefits me.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Because I will benefit you and others as well.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, the hadith is still under discussion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I found it in *Shu'ab al-Iman*.
The questioner: Yes.
