Are the Salaf more reverent toward the Messenger than the Khalaf, or is it the other way around?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But let us clarify your first question, or rather the second, to provide a benefit: Do you think we are more reverent toward the Messenger (peace be upon him) than the Salaf?
The questioner : They are more knowledgeable about him than we are.
The Shaykh : They are more reverent. Therefore, our reverence for our Prophet is not achieved by deviating from the methodology of our Salaf, but rather by following him.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And by following his Companions who adhered to his methodology. This is the answer.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
