Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there a difference between al-wasilah and al-fadilah?
The Shaykh : Perhaps he is referring to the hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 4719. The difference between them is that al-wasilah is a specific name for the highest rank in Paradise. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:252 As for al-fadilah, it refers to the excellences in reward, ranks, and so on. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a female questioner who says, O honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Perhaps he is referring to the hadith:
Give Muhammad Al-Wasila and Al-Fadila
ءات محمداً الوسيلة والفضيلةIt should not be for anyone but a servant among the servants of Allah, and I hope that I will be that one
لا ينبغي أن تكون إلا لعبد من عباد الله، وأرجو أن أكون هوThe questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a female questioner who says, O honorable Shaykh.
