Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My brother, what is the authenticity of the hadith: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3:789?
The Shaykh : The hadith is authentic.
The questioner : Does its meaning imply a jurisprudential issue: the prohibition of i'tikaf in mosques other than the three?
The Shaykh : Of course, i'tikaf is not prescribed except in the three mosques, just like traveling for worship!
The questioner : Just like traveling for worship. Where is this research, may Allah bless you? In which books of fiqh, in which books of hadith?
The Shaykh : Do you have the treatise: The Virtue of Standing in Night Prayer by Al-Albani?
The questioner : By Allah, it came, but it is not available now.
The Shaykh : Yes, because it is in a long discussion there; you will not find it in any other book.
The questioner : It is not here.
The Shaykh : I am telling you, it is in this treatise, a long research that is not found in any other book.
The questioner : Yes, it is authenticated. Is the treatise with you, may Allah bless you?
The Shaykh : There is no power nor strength except with Allah!
The questioner : Our Shaykh, this is my last question, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : My brother, what is wrong with you?! Why don't you understand me?! I am telling you, in this treatise there is an authenticated, detailed research regarding this hadith and its jurisprudential implication; this research is not found in any other book!!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. I understood that, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Okay, and you say "authenticated" or "authenticated"? What does this phrase mean?!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Well, peace be upon you.
The questioner : ... O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah bless you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
