AI: Summary ©
The speakers discuss the use of "has" in Arabic to indicate opinion and false false accusations. They explore the theory that actions of companions and the Prophet peace be upon him, and discuss the use of clasping of hands as an exception to the rule. They also touch on affirmations and narrations of events, including the Hadith's statement that two people can retract their deal, the Prophet's statement that no one is alive and ruling, and the use of the Prophet's stance to encourage Muslims to study their method.

Chances are the Imam had a stronger evidence

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

a stronger Hadith

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

so you may have come upon a hadith Yes, you did come upon a hadith

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

but you didn't come upon all the Hadith. There's strong Hadith out

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

there that you don't not aware of. So it's funny that oh my gosh the

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

Imam didn't know about the Hadith. Also look in the mirror maybe you

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

also didn't know about some evidences, right why it seems to

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

be egotistical for us to come this far down in Islamic history and

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

say, boom he didn't know the Hadith. Maybe also you don't know

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

a lot of things about the evidences that they used. Okay, so

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

that's one thing. Secondly, it could be a Quranic verse and

00:00:44 --> 00:00:49

certain Hadith and certain scholars differ on whether

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

certain Hadith can provide exceptions to Quranic verses are

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

not. Alright, let me give you a simple example. The magic is in

00:00:58 --> 00:01:05

the in the Hanif ease did not hold that a solitary Hadith can provide

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

an exception

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

to a Quranic verse. Quranic verses want to watch

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

it more authoritative than one single narration

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24

that does that lacks context and explanation. So what they did for

00:01:24 --> 00:01:29

example, on Joomla when Joomla when eight falls on Joomla, what's

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

the ruling there? The ruling there for the Hanafi is in the magic is

00:01:33 --> 00:01:38

is that you must pray. Gemma, the chef Eva, and I don't know about

00:01:38 --> 00:01:44

the 100 Hannah Bella, but the chef Eva Imam Shafi, he took a

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

different approach than his previous two teachers. He said No,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

even if we have one single narration, we will use that as an

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

exception for the Quran. So there is a narration in which the

00:01:57 --> 00:02:02

Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam told some people that if aid is on

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

a drummer, they don't have to come back

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

for joy pray the hood in their homes. So what did Abu Hanifa and

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

Malik say about that hadith, they say we didn't see any of the

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

previous generations practicing that. So we don't deny that it

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

happens. But we don't know the context wasn't an exception. Was

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

there a specific thing was it abrogated later on? We don't know.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

So we don't deny that the Hadith took place. But we don't have

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

enough information around it.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

Okay, to make a ruling by it, and the companions, and the teb, ain,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

and the Tebbetts, eBaying, none of their leaders practiced it. They

00:02:37 --> 00:02:43

all prayed drama on aid. As a result of that we accept it as a

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

sci fi idea, but we can't use it as evidence. We're going to use

00:02:46 --> 00:02:52

the action of the companions and the tab ain as a greater evidence.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

Now the actions of the companions. Is that not the Sunnah, when a

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

whole generation of companions is doing something, is that not the

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

teaching of the Prophet peace be upon him? Okay. So so that's the

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

first understanding is that there was another evidence that's

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

stronger than that. Okay, what's next? It could have been

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

abrogated. We already alluded to that it could have been abrogated.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18

So in the companion see, when an imam sees that there is this

00:03:18 --> 00:03:24

isolated Hadith one narration to do X, but we find none of the

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

companions or the second generation doing X, then what do

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

they assume? They assume maybe it was abrogated is why is it that

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

the action is different, okay, of the most noble of generations. And

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

this narration, so they so it's not to say that the narration is

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

rejected, is to say there is not enough information around it. And

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

there is contradictory information to it. In other words, the actions

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

of the next two generations is contradictory to it. So as a

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

result of that, we're just going to suspend it, and we're not going

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

to act upon we're going to act upon what stronger yet, I'm going

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

to assume possibly was abrogated. Another possibility is was an

00:04:00 --> 00:04:07

exception. So for example, the raising of the hands, even the

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

clasping of the hands to take an as an example. Medic himself,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

cites the Hadith of the clasping of the hands. But his method is to

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

put the hands down in the prayer. So we need to know like, Hey,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

don't drive me crazy. Here we following the Prophet the hadith

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

is right there. Why are you ruling the opposite? The answer is, is

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

that oftentimes, a hadith is deemed to be an exception to the

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

rule, not the rule itself.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

And what's an example of that in other narrations,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

they state that the Sahaba were praying long Noah fell, and the

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

prophets and their hands were getting numb. And so the prophets

00:04:45 --> 00:04:51

I sent him said, clasp your hands as an exception as a Roxa. When

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

you're printing long prayers to clasp your hands so that your

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

hands don't get numb, the blood is down to their hands. So it's the

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

idea that

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

The narration is accepted, but it's known to be an exception

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

versus the rule. Right? And that's why a Mehtab ruling may seem to be

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

quite opposite so you'll see mentions that the mimetic has

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

dozens of Hadith that he puts in them what up that he doesn't rule

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

by because he's basically putting them in them what that saying I

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

know these are exceptions. These are not the rule.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

Another famous hadith is at obey Yanni bill here, email me, it's a

00:05:29 --> 00:05:35

very funny example that a man came to him a medic. And he said medic.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

When can two people who buy and sell something make a deal?

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

Retract?

00:05:42 --> 00:05:49

He says they can't as soon as they make the deal, it's done. Okay? He

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

says but Maddock you yourself.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

cite the Hadith in the Morata that two people, they can retract their

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

deal that they made. Okay, as long as they're still sitting together.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

Right? He says, I cited that hadith, so that an ignorant person

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

like you doesn't come and tell me one day that there is such a

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

hadith. I knew that hadith. Okay, but I have a stronger evidence

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

from it. There's a stronger evidence to that. Okay. And so,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

again, you have any situations where the Imam may know Hadith and

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

cite it himself, but he's citing it to make people know, I know it,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

and I have a stronger evidence for it than it.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

Okay, so what's another example?

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

How about that the narrator may act differently from what he

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

narrated.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

What happens when that occurs? narrator says one thing, he says

00:06:44 --> 00:06:49

the Prophet said do this, but he doesn't do it. So clearly. He

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

viewed it as a minor fothergilla. Or maybe an exception in the

00:06:53 --> 00:06:59

famous example of Abdullah bin Omar, who narrates the hadith of

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

raising the hands before and after the core. So maybe he was saying

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

the prophets I seldom did it once or twice. But as an exception, not

00:07:08 --> 00:07:13

the rule, because he himself was narrated that he didn't do it. He

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

narrated that anybody didn't do it. Okay.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:22

We have other examples of this. bigger issues. How about saying it

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

and the cut and the coverage? Did not the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:07:25 --> 00:07:30

wa sallam say, if I was alive when the colada just came out, I would

00:07:30 --> 00:07:35

kill them all. who narrates that hadith say nobody? Who was alive

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

ruling when the Jaredites came out? said no. Did he kill them

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

all? No, he didn't kill them all. So what did you do? Just ignore

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

the prophets Hadith.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:48

Or he understood it in a context. Okay. That it with conditions

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

maybe? All right, yes, he would do that. If there were conditions,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

the condition being that there wouldn't be greater harm than

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

good, right? Common sense as that. So say that it knew that hadith,

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

the prophesy centum said if the who are the parasites, the rebels,

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

they think they're more pious than everybody else and they rebel

00:08:05 --> 00:08:12

against the authority. Okay, those are the high wattage rebels. And

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

they have a political and religious element to them. And the

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if I was alive, I

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

would kill all of them. Yeah, they're the rebels. They're gonna

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

cause problems in the OMA. So say 90 narrates the Hadith and say 90

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

is ruling when the Claridge rights emerge as the prophet prophesied.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:35

But he killed them. He said they can go and live in their mosques

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

in their villages and pray in their Missmiss. Ajit as long as

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

they leave us alone, the moment they start killing us, then we

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

fight them. So the problem so say Nayeli, understood the conditions,

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

the preconditions before the implementation of the prophets,

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

Hadith.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

And of course, he did in certain period of time, the Battle of no

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

one did fight them.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

Okay, he did fight them. But before that, and after that, he

00:09:01 --> 00:09:06

let them live. So he understood the conditions. So again, another

00:09:06 --> 00:09:09

reason is that yes, there may be a hadith, and a ruling in a method,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:13

but the Hadith has understood conditions around. Why are we

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

saying all this is because the best way for you students of

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

knowledge brand new students are not this whole livestream. The

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

purpose of this livestream is to introduce Muslims to the path of

00:09:23 --> 00:09:29

knowledge and piety and worship. The best way to go about this is

00:09:29 --> 00:09:35

to study the four Imams, choose who you believe is most worthy of

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

following. That's the HD head, the scholarly effort of the common

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

person, and then follow that person because we don't have time.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

We don't have the time of day to study every single issue and get

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

to the bottom every single issue, but we can study the Imams and

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

their methodologies. And then it becomes a function after that. So

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

this is the imam in the methodology that I believe is most

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

worthy of following and then after that, I going to follow him and I

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

could study his evidence

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

As much as I can, but now, me my life, my family, my community, my

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

household, my masjid, we have a policy. This is the book. And it's

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

all predictable after that. And trust me when you go to

00:10:12 --> 00:10:18

communities who adopt a non method methodology, by the way, that is a

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

methodology. You don't see learned people. You see confused people.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:26

You see people, ping ponging of opinions all over all over the

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

place.
