The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, exactly what was the action of his father that he contradicted?
The Shaykh : Contradicted it?
The questioner : I mean, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, do you not know that when he went out for Hajj during his caliphate?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he stopped at one of those stopping places, and he saw people turning toward a certain direction, so he asked about them, and they said to him: "These are people who intend to pray in the places where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped and prayed." So he addressed the people and said: "O people, whoever is overtaken by prayer in one of these places, let him pray, and whoever is not, do not follow them, for what destroyed those before you was their following the traces of their prophets."
