The cradle verse and the boy in the Temple* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eokcnwggiba/s/33/ - Date: 2021-01-26 · Kind: question · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Monday Nights with Mufti #199 | Q&A Unscripted & Unrestricted! 😉 | Mufti Abu Layth (2:47:26–2:50:05) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoKcNwGGIBA&t=10046s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eokcnwggiba/ **Topics:** Jesus in the Quran **Question as asked:** Can you speak about Jesus speaking as a child? **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran does not state that Jesus spoke as a newborn, and that the cradle verse points to the episode in Luke of the boy Jesus arguing with the Temple priests. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran does not state that Jesus spoke as a newborn, and that its reference to his speaking from the cradle as a boy points to the episode in Luke of the young Jesus arguing with the Temple priests. **Evidence, his words at 2:48:00:** “jesus it doesn't mention he's speaking as a baby that's just inferred by people he actually says that kefanu who was a boy” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoKcNwGGIBA&t=10080s) ## Longer summary Taking a couple of quick questions, Mufti Abu Layth answers one about Jesus speaking as a child, saying he has a video on it: the Quran does not say Jesus spoke as a baby, which is only inferred, but describes him as one who was in the cradle as a boy. He takes this to refer to the incident in the Gospel of Luke when Jesus, as a boy of about ten or eleven, argues with the priests in the Temple, who find it offensive and disrespectful. He then answers a question about rock music, saying that some tracks by Elvis and Sinatra cannot be beaten. ## Sources and names cited - Isa (Jesus) - Quran 19:29 (how can we speak to one who is in the cradle, a child): https://quran.com/19/29 - Gospel of Luke ## Transcript (machine tier, 2:47:26–2:50:05) [2:47:22] right so what is going on i'll tell you what one two quick questions then let's do the uh we'll have to do the uh let me add a little bit of right so do the masala thing and call it a night people are there any interesting questions here i haven't taken some from the jamaat on facebook so what are you guys saying huh imam trump says and then jesus returned as mirza mahmud that's one disappointing second return [2:48:00] all right all right some questions about jesus okay sure yep uh fushi is asked about jesus speaking as a child i have got a video explaining that that look jesus it doesn't mention he's speaking as a baby that's just inferred by people he actually says that kefanu [2:48:33] who was a boy so kana who was a boy just yesterday in the cradle and that's because i feel that's referring to the incident i think in the gospel of luke when jesus is a young boy i think maybe about 10 or 11 and he gets into an argument with the high priests and they find it incredibly offensive and disrespectful so i feel this is an indication to that [2:49:08] what is going on people here disney hardy what happened to rock songs rock rock as in rock or as in like what kind of rock are we talking about here you talking about like rock and roll elvis to be fair i mean obviously those things are well before my time but i think there's some very good uh very good music i mean very good you know the good tracks put it like that some some of what elvis has some of um [2:49:44] what's his name sinatra and things like that you can't beat it really i think musti please talk about right can you please read my question i just read your question oh i don't know you had a video speak a bit about abu hurairah spent last two years with the prophet and his five thousand hadith omar asking him to stop hadith yeah this is a uh yep that's a good question ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment eoKcNwGGIBA/s/33. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eokcnwggiba/s/33/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
