The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

There are countless hadith on showing compassion and affection, he says, but he cannot follow the question about Raja Dahir.

In more detail

A super chat asks him to speak about love and proof of affection, and about the protection given by Raja Dahir [?] to the persecuted descendants of the Prophet. Mufti Abu Layth says he cannot understand what is being asked and wonders whether he is just tired. Taking 'proof of affection' as where Islam says to show affection, he says there are countless hadith about shafaqa, compassion and affection. He says he cannot make sense of the Raja Dahir part.

Question as read aloud · questioner not identified
Please speak about love and proof of affection, also the protection given by Raja Dahir [?] to the always persecuted Prophet's descendants on the run.
