Question:
How to reconcile the hadith:, with the prohibition of saying: law (if)?
Answer:
It is possible, it is possible; because this is due to the actions of the narrators and the error of some narrators, so it is possible that it is permissible; because some of the scholars of knowledge said: it is permissible, and they argued with this hadith, "If it were not for so-and-so, so-and-so would have perished," "If it were not for so-and-so, so-and-so would not have succeeded."
But what one should do is use "thumma" (then); in accordance with all the evidence:Sunan Abi Dawud 4980Sahih (Al-Albani), and the hadith of the leper and the bald man: Sahih Muslim 2964, so the Sunnah is like this, and this is the safest course for the believer.
