the story that I have for you today is a story which shows how the people of the past were really enthusiastic about seeking knowledge, and only seeking knowledge but also making sure that the knowledge was authentic. And this is a panel that is something that is unique to the OMA of Islam, which was that they verified the narrations very extensively. They looked at the variations very clearly and deeply. Unlike other books today, I mean, today you look at the Bible, even according to Christian scholars, they're not sure who are the people who wrote the Bible in the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, John, Luke, they're not really sure who these people are. Yes, some of them say

they are disciples. But the reality is that these one disciples, you know, John wasn't the John that was the disciple of of Asa lessons. We don't even know who wrote the Bible. And that's why you have the conflicting versions. In our Hadith, people were very importantly, verifying who narrated from who did he hear from him? Does he meet him and so on now,

there was a Michael shore, but even hedgehog. Hedgehog was what's known as a mural. I mean, he had it he was like the commander of the prints of the believers in terms of Hadith, he was like the top guy. And he was obviously because of this reason, he is a very, very,

very particular person. On one occasion, he was sitting in his house in El Basa. And he heard some people narrating a hadith, or at least they were trying to revise a hadith saying that they heard from a guy called SR II,

that he heard from somebody called Ibn Eddie's hack, who heard from Abdullah Hydra Hopper who heard from Ebola, even his hobby that he heard the Hadith from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in regards to whoever

makes voodoo and perfect There we go, and then goes inside the masjid or goes and prays to work out and ask for forgiveness that Allah will forgive him all his sins.

Shut up, I wanted to verify had a side note here, though, you say this, somebody called this right? Yes, somebody's got this right, because it's right at the level of profit. So there were people who actually named Is it because it's the name of the Apple Valley Center today more profit, which actually means

slave of Allah.

So he said, he asked him, did you actually you know, are you sure that this hadith doesn't sound right? So he said, I know even a mishap I heard for him. So he went to Ibn ABS who was almost like, you know, that time in the same city, he said, I'm coming to ask you about this hadith. The the people have narrated that you have heard it from Abdullah Abdullah, who you said has heard it from awkward naffaa Now did Abdullah Did he hear from Akbar? I mean is did he actually hear from the sahabi this this narration, I want to verify He said

not sure. He wasn't you know, very certain about this generations policy, this very important precision. So he said, You know what, I'm gonna go and see Abdullah and I'm gonna go and ask him myself, whereas Abdullah, and oppa is in Mecca. So Shama then goes on his journey from Basra to Mecca see all that distance to crossing basically the Arabian Peninsula. And it happened to be also be the time of hedge now, a short way he said, I went out to Mecca

at the title of hedge and my intention was even had you know, I wasn't wanting to hide, I just wanted to verify this hadith. So he reached Mecca he meets Abdullah him robot

And he meets this man and he said, I've come to ask you about this hadith I've heard people narrating and your name has
