What is your opinion on making a sheet of supplications, writing that they are from Sahih al-Jami' as verified by our Shaykh Al-Albani, and the description of the Prophet's prayer? As for Sahih al-Jami',
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... 'Awni al-Sharif, and from your book as well, the description of the Prophet's prayer. What phrase should we put?
The Shaykh: What phrase? Hello.
The questioner: Hello, my Shaykh, the voice is not clear, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: The voice is not clear, why?
The Shaykh: I am saying, what phrase?
The questioner: We need to write a phrase under the sheet of supplications, stating that they are from Sahih al-Jami' as verified by our Shaykh Al-Albani, and the description of the Prophet's prayer. As for Sahih al-Jami', the arrangement is from the book 'Awni al-Sharif.
The Shaykh: I am truly, Abu 'Abdullah, not comfortable with this work.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Because we condemn it in people, because now it will become a pamphlet, tomorrow it will become a booklet, and it will be said that so-and-so compiled it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And this is not appropriate, because this work is within the capability of the least cultured people.
The questioner : Correct, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: And so now you will find many booklets on dhikr and daily recitations, all of which are just collections from here and there and here. So I am not very comfortable with this work, even though in terms of selection it will be unique.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, my Shaykh, then, subhan Allah al-Azim, we have had these sheets for about ten years, circulating them during 'Umrah and at times, meaning times when supplication is answered, and we supplicate with them. Nothing of this kind has happened to them.
The Shaykh: How do you mean nothing has happened to them?
The questioner: I mean the sheets are still in our hands, we supplicate with them like this, and we have memorized the authentic supplications from them, we supplicate with them, meaning at times of ease, meaning for the hands of the brothers who want to supplicate, so they do not have to carry a book, and there is no capacity for memorizing by heart.
The Shaykh: Yes, meaning you want them to make it like what they do during tawaf.
The questioner: No, I do not want them to do that, it should be in his hand, meaning on the basis that it means.
The Shaykh: If it is in his hand, what would it be?
The questioner: Ah, meaning he benefits from it by memorizing, because he does not open and look through this Jami' and it takes a long time, hadiths, may Allah, and he supplicates with it and records it. This would be easy for him instead of supplicating from his pocket.
The Shaykh: My brother, we are not talking about that.
The questioner: Ah, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: We are talking about it regarding you, not regarding the people.
The questioner: Ah, regarding us.
The Shaykh: Meaning tomorrow, now you.
The questioner: Ah, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: If these hadiths that I showed you are on a large sheet.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: If you made it like this, the size of the palm of the hand.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: This means there is a difference.
The questioner: No, there is no big difference.
The Shaykh: Okay, and then your name will be put on it, and we will fall into the same problem that we condemn in people.
The questioner: Okay, these, my Shaykh, we do not want to put our names on them.
The Shaykh: My brother, it will not work if you do not put it, someone else will put it. The important thing is that this is my opinion, and this is what we live with. This is one of the problems of the modern age. We say that a person who has no culture at all in collecting, takes a saying from here and a saying from here and a saying from here and writes a book. I live with this problem.
The questioner: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The Shaykh: Now, under my hand is Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: I wrote an introduction for it of about thirty pages.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: I am criticizing two books titled Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: An ignorant man brought the most amazing things.
The questioner: There is no power or strength.
The Shaykh: And another one, printing a new edition, the first part of al-Adab al-Mufrad reached me, also there are marginal notes from here and there, and he knows nothing of the science of hadith.
The questioner: There is no power.
The Shaykh: This is a calamity of the modern age.
The questioner: There is no power.
The Shaykh: So I do not want, I do not want you to fall into the same problem. And if I were criticizing you, and I am not criticizing, but I am advising, as you know, but on the assumption that I am criticizing, let me be the one who criticizes you rather than someone like al-Saqaf or others.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, my Shaykh, your advice is on my head, because subhan Allah, I found that many of these people are not directed to authentic supplications, and supplications, subhan Allah, there is no power except by Allah, are authentic, and they supplicate, each one from his pocket. So I thought for these pilgrims who are going, those who are sitting here, give them this sheet. I did not think there was a connection in the matter, hehe.
The Shaykh: It will not remain a sheet, Abu al-'Abd.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: It will not remain a sheet.
The questioner: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The Shaykh: Yes, by Allah, in any case, consult others.
The questioner: Ah, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: In any case, consult others.
The questioner: Hehe, you are right, who should I consult, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh: But there is no harm in verifying or implementing[Al-Qasas 28:35].
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, may Allah strengthen you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner: May Allah preserve you ... .
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner: In any case, my Shaykh, even if we ... meaning we do not do it, so this was transferred, meaning I was going to write under it, transferred from Sahih al-Jami' as verified by our Shaykh Al-Albani, and from the description of the Prophet's prayer. This is what was in my mind like that.
The Shaykh: We did not differ, this is a reality.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: But I do not recommend publishing such sheets.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Because there is no difference between them and the number of sheets you have, three or four.
The questioner: Four.
The Shaykh : How long?
The questioner: Four.
The Shaykh: Four.
The questioner: Ah, three.
The Shaykh: Tomorrow three, three sheets, tomorrow these will become a bound notebook, they will become a small booklet, and this is inevitable.
The questioner: Ah, there is no god but Allah, and this is called authorship, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The questioner: And this is called authorship.
The Shaykh: What about the authorships we are seeing today?
The questioner: By Allah, it is strange.
The Shaykh: Did I not give you an example?
The questioner: Ah, correct, there is no power or strength except by Allah, may Allah enable good, good, if Allah wills, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Good, you see.
The questioner: ... Good.
The Shaykh : You are welcome.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and upon you be peace.
The Shaykh: What phrase? Hello.
