The questioner: O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. O Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And to you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: 'Umar stood as a preacher and said, “O people, these are two days that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on.” How do we add a third day, meaning?
The Shaykh: What is the third day?
The questioner: Saturday, meaning.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you. We added it. May Allah forgive you.
The questioner: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh: If it was the Messenger, and I seek Allah’s forgiveness, then seek Allah’s forgiveness again, as if you are asking how the Messenger added it.
The questioner: Yes, I seek Allah’s forgiveness, but I mean...
The Shaykh: No, no, O Shaykh, stop. May Allah guide you. Wait, wait.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: You told me, and I said I added it. You said no, I seek Allah’s forgiveness. Now, your seeking forgiveness is more emphatic when you remember that it was the Messenger who said it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And he is the one who added it. So do you say to the Messenger, “When you added it...
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh: You will seek Allah’s forgiveness.
The questioner : I seek forgiveness from Allah.
The Shaykh: Therefore, the question is invalid from the start.
The questioner: Like this, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Like this, and a hundred times like this.
The student: Indeed, by Allah.
The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The questioner: ... meaning the hadith of 'Umar.
The Shaykh: O Shaykh, do you know that the Shari'ah did not come all at once, but rather gradually? Do you know this?
The questioner: I know this.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: For example, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the preference of congregational prayer by twenty-five.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And in another narration, by twenty-seven.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: It is said, how was it increased?
The questioner: It is not said.
The Shaykh: So it is not said.
The questioner: But O Shaykh, 'Umar preached after the death of the Messenger, meaning.
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive you. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab is a Messenger.
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh: So he is conveying from the Messenger.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Good, well done. Is there a transmitter from the Messenger other than 'Umar?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Ah, well done. So combine that transmission with this transmission.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Hehehe, come on, peace be upon you.
The student: And upon you peace.
The Shaykh : And to you, if Allah wills.
