The Shaykh's comment on the interpretation of a hadith by one of the ignorant shaykhs: (Do not raise your voices over one another in the Qur'an).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As will come later, he says: "As for the hadith As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 59:118, it does not mean that, but rather the intended meaning is that a person should not raise his voice with the Qur'an over the voice of another with the Qur'an, and it includes that it is not permissible for a worshipper to raise his voice with the Qur'an behind the imam." So he is restricting the meaning of the hadith: one is reading and the other is reading, meaning both are outside of prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That is why I wrote "extreme ignorance; because its meaning is that it is permissible to disturb a worshipper who is reading."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Whether we picture two people praying, or one person praying and one not praying, the concept of his words with this distorted interpretation is: that it is permissible to disturb a worshipper who is reading. "Then al-'Ajiluni said after the hadith: And what precedes suffices for it in the section where the praying reader listens, referring to the hadith: and similar in al-Maqasid." So the source he quoted from is refuting him and this interpretation, because he made the hadith that has no basis mean the same as the one that has a basis.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He made a difference between this and that in meaning.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The point is that Imam al-Shafi'i explicitly states in al-Umm: that the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas regarding raising the voice was for the sake of teaching. And we say: for the sake of teaching it is permissible, but people today, first, do not know this fiqh, and second, if they did know it, they would not adhere to it, so it would then cease to be for the sake of teaching.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is a foolish man, meaning an ignorant, arrogant person, may Allah protect us from that!
Do not raise your voices over one another in the Qur'an
