Correcting a Misunderstanding of the Hadith (That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated about a prophet whose people beat him and gashed his head, and he said:
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : They say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when his people tortured him and gashed his head, said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3477. This narration contains an error in two respects—please, we got here before you, may Allah reward you with good—in terms of the narration itself, and in terms of the legal ruling. As for the narration, the hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari" states: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated about a prophet whose people beat him and gashed his head; so he said: Sahih Muslim 1792a.” Thus, the hadith is not related to our Prophet (peace be upon him); rather, our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is narrating about a prophet before him whose people beat him. Many people make this mistake, and this is not a new error; it is found in books of biography, stating that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3477. The correct version, as we mentioned, is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated this about a prophet before him, using the wording: Sahih Muslim 1792a. The second error is that it was not permissible for the Messenger (peace be upon him) to seek forgiveness for the polytheists after the prohibition of doing so was revealed in the Noble Qur'an; therefore, if the hadith had been related to him (peace be upon him), it would have been with the first wording: ...
The student : ... Thanking our brother Abu Malik for what he did for the sake of our brothers, may Allah reward you with good, may Allah keep us and you steadfast.
Another student: We do not thank him for this; it is obligatory. I mean, 'Abd al-'Aziz and Saleh are our sons before anything else, but we defend others, so should we not defend them?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The student : This is not the pot you are using; the people of Sahab consider 'Abd al-'Aziz and Saleh to be from among them.
The Shaykh : They have taken all the good, if Allah wills.
The student : So when you say 'Abd al-'Aziz and Saleh, the mind immediately turns to Sahab.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Perhaps the matter is as it was said: “Birds fall with their own kind.”
The student : Yes, by Allah, and by Allah, the people of Sahab are truly good.
Another student: ... all of them.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. There is no god but Allah.
The student : He came from Palestine.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The student : I moved here, professor.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student : I moved here.
The Shaykh: When?
The student : From one to six, to Abu 'Abdullah's place.
Another student: Where?
Another student: Did you leave it there? I will make it comfortable for you... I mean, sometimes the heart is pleased with the call, and sometimes it hesitates; these people, glory be to Allah, are amazing.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : ...
The Shaykh : I mean, did you move to a mosque here as well?
The student : Yes, indeed. The Al-Iskan mosque in Al-Qawsimah.
Another student: ... you will be comfortable.
The Shaykh : Also, birds fall with their own kind.
The student : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : And how many a one finds his own kind...
O Allah! Forgive my nation, for they have no knowledge.
اللهم اغفِرْ لقومي ؛ فإنهم لا يعلمونMy Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know.
اللهم اهْدِ قومي ؛ فإنهم لا يعلمونO Allah! Forgive my nation, for they have no knowledge.
اللهم اغفر لقومي ؛ فإنهم لا يعلمونMy Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know.
اللهم اهْدِ قومي ؛ فإنهم لا يعلمونO Allah
