Warning the youth against attacking the verification and weakening of hadith and their ease in doing so.

The student : ... a large number of hadiths ...

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest! I mean, when we see the attack by some students today on the science of hadith and their ease in verifying and weakening, we remember the hesitation of the predecessors in delving into this science. How great is the difference between these modern hadith scholars and those predecessors...
The student: Live through Rajab and you will see a wonder, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh: They knew the difficulty of the science of hadith, so they were timid. As for these young people rising up today, they did not know the value of hadith and its difficulty, so they attacked it.
The student: O Shaykh, the evidence for your statement? I will mention to you a real piece of evidence for your statement, which some of those we trust told me in what they relate. He was speaking with one of those who are enthusiastic among those in this state, who are bold without knowledge, and who speak and criticize and place their eyes with the eyes of the Shaykh, specifically here and there. He says to him: The funeral prayer, as Muslims call it today, has no basis in the Sunnah.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student: He said to him: Do you mean what you are saying?! Here is the wonder, O Shaykh. He said to him: Yes. He said to him: Have you studied it? He said to him: I have studied it. He said to him: I mean, is there not a single authentic one according to the Shaykh's madhhab? He said to him: Not a single authentic one according to the Shaykh's madhhab. He said to him: I mean, there is no weak or authentic? You, for example, the Shaykh authenticates the hadith and you weaken it? He said to him: There is no such talk from him. He said to him: Hand me the rulings on funerals, the closest book, O Shaykh...

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: He said to him: Here it is... And when the hadith was before him, he said: So he was struck dumb and his face changed color in a very strange way.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student: What is your opinion, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest. Poor things.
The student: Perhaps you know him, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh: Perhaps, perhaps. The letter Haa?
The student: It is so. What is your opinion, O Shaykh? Allah is the Helper.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide him, may Allah guide him.
The student: Yes, by Allah. I mean, the problem, subhan Allah, the boldness that... O Shaykh, it is truly present now...
Another student: ... the youth have not been raised by the hands of scholars...
Another student: Allahu Akbar.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Helper, there is no power and no strength except by Allah.
The student: We have prolonged upon you, may Allah bless you.

The Shaykh: You have honored us and made us feel at home.
The student : May Allah preserve you and bless you.

The Shaykh: And may Allah reward you with good.
The student: May Allah bless you, our professor.
The student: Here, O Shaykh, some things that have come out recently, I mean, the talk, for example, in strengthening some hadiths where some strengthen others, the mursal and tadlis, I mean, this is what we, I mean, decided... the known scholars of knowledge.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: And we, if Allah wills, I mean, are determined to respond to this new madhhab...

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The student: I mean, what is feared from it...

The Shaykh: Yes, by Allah.
The student: ... and Allah knows best the motives for this.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: Allah knows best the motives, but also this madhhab, which perhaps you have heard about, O Shaykh, and it has been mentioned to you, has no effect in the practice of verification and weakening and investigation; rather, it is only a methodology...

The Shaykh: Yes. And if Allah wills, there will be no intention of bad intent, of destruction, but rather it will be bad knowledge from the doer.
The student: This is what we hope for, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh: Yes. Otherwise, it is a very serious matter. Allah is the Helper.
The student: One last point, from the things this man raises lately, I spoke with him by phone...

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The issue of hearing (sam') according to the madhhab of al-Bukhari and Muslim. He says verbatim: I do not consider the madhhab of Muslim, because the madhhab of Muslim is unique to him, and all the predecessors are on the madhhab of al-Bukhari, Ibn al-Madini, al-Bukhari, and those before and after. Then tadlis is not only, I mean, that a scholar explicitly states it; tadlis may be simply by lack of awareness, and he brought some narrations found in al-Bukhari's al-Tarikh.
