How authentic is the hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to give people their due status”

The questioner : From Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her and grant her satisfaction), she said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to give people their due status ...” I do not think the hadith is like this, is it?

The Shaykh : The hadith is like this, but it is a weak hadith in its chain of narration. However, in reality, as I understand it, it is the meaning of a section of an authentic hadith: . I actually wanted to answer before you finished your question ... with the condition that it conforms to the Shari'ah, and then the problem is solved. Give people their due status within the limits of the Shari'ah, and give our scholar his due right within the limits of the Shari'ah. For example, knowing the right of the scholar is something many people neglect. These people know the right of the scholar in general, customary formal matters, and they have entered into these matters. But what is more obligatory than this respect and honor is that they do not speak before him. Where is this etiquette today? You see the scholar speaking, saying “Allah said” or “The Messenger of Allah said,” and a person with absolutely no knowledge objects and debates, and does not stand in the position of a scholar, nor do I say the ignorant person toward the scholar. In reality, we live today in an atmosphere dominated by a lack of moderation, either excess or negligence. From our study of the righteous Salaf, including scholars and non-scholars, we know that the scholar would ask from one who was not a scholar, and the matter would end. This was from them the realization and application of verses in the Qur'an, among which the most explicit is: . Now the situation is not like that. Now the situation is that one who has absolutely no methodology debates without any knowledge at all. This is met by people who think they are with us in the methodology, but they have known something and other things have been hidden from them, as it is said. So you find that although he is ignorant, he has a topic where the Shari'ah says “Allah said” or “The Messenger of Allah said.” We do not want the sayings of men and the opinions of men. He will ask a precise question in which the scholar himself might be perplexed, so he is thinking and exerting effort and giving an opinion, and immediately he rushes to you asking, “What is the evidence?” I say in such a case: My brother, not every issue has detailed evidence tailored to the logic or ignorance of each one ofThe questioner : us such that we present him with the verse or hadith and he understands it immediately, . So now this is part of honoring the scholar: not speaking before him, not raising one's voice before him. And it often happens that the scholar is asked a question and one of the people sitting there answers. This is not from honoring the scholar.
