Discussion of Hassan 'Abd al-Mannan in his following the path of the disbelieving Orientalists in criticizing the authentic Prophetic hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... hadiths and the ones that were rejected in that chapter.
The Shaykh: And someone like you asks this question.
The questioner: We want, O Shaykh, a fatwa from you regarding this book?
The Shaykh: Strike him with it.
The questioner: May Allah preserve you, but O our Shaykh, what do you say about the hadiths he discussed? He did not leave anything in the chapter but rejected it.
The Shaykh: And you know the man as we said today, and perhaps before today, the man followed the path of the disbelieving Orientalists in criticizing the authentic Prophetic hadiths, which Abu Rayyah had followed before him, and he was refuted by some of the people of knowledge and virtue, as you know. Then our brother Abu al-Harith, may Allah reward him with good, told me that he has known him for a long time, meaning he has known this Hassan for a long time, and that he was fond of the books of Abu Rayyah. So if he has not, and I do not think he has, been influenced by the methods of the disbelieving Orientalists, there is no doubt that he was influenced by those who were influenced by them, and among them is this Egyptian.
The questioner: All right, O our Shaykh, al-Ghazali's introduction to it...
The Shaykh: It is the case that birds fall according to their kind.
The questioner: I said the people of innovation told each other, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The student: ... finished.
The student: I did not catch up.
The Shaykh: Philosophy, philosophy, philosophy.
The student: BecauseThe Shaykh : he has some questions, so we do not want to waste [time].
The Shaykh: Yes, but he was eager; as soon as he sat down, he started asking.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Even philosophy.
The student: You are speaking, and among the etiquettes of conversation is that I listen.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The student : And beware of that.
The Shaykh: But this means that you have questions, while you have finished your questions.
The student: Not much, like that.
The Shaykh: And someone like you asks this question.
The questioner: We want, O Shaykh, a fatwa from you regarding this book?
The Shaykh: Strike him with it.
