What did Ibn Aashour really say? -Mufti Abu Layth (19:25–21:38) - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoQ_mXafx5o&t=1165s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eoq_mxafx5o/ **Topics:** Responses to critics; Dajjal, Mahdi and the signs **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth says the misquotation charge reflects weak Arabic or a fixed mindset, and that scholars he consulted confirmed his reading of Ibn Ashur. ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth says people can judge for themselves that there was no cut and paste, and that while someone may remain unconvinced, saying he misquoted Ibn Ashur is poor scholarship that shows either weak Arabic or a mindset that cannot judge objectively. Mufti says those who insisted Ibn Ashur could not have said it did so because a hadith in Sahih Muslim says otherwise, which he calls reading with a fixed mindset. He says he sent the pages to a Moroccan shaykh whose late father compiled one of the most comprehensive collections on the signs of the Hour, and whom he had once visited, and that this shaykh and other scholars confirmed that Ibn Ashur says the creature will appear at the gathering on the Day of Judgment to show those who denied the resurrection. ## Sources and names cited - Ibn Ashur - Sahih Muslim ## Transcript (machine tier, 19:25–21:38) [18:45] mushrik who's the mushrikun work today in his time in our shoots and 20th century who would mushrikuna mushrikuna of the time of the prophet that they denied the quran so this they were forced to hear the as an embarrassment they heard that they the denial was in vain and it was stupid of them on the tongue war the speech of a creature on the day of judgment so look and then he says as two people saying that the iman doesn't benefit lion fair enough sandy Manohar lambda con hominem in Kabul in [19:24] surah al-anam he says wa ham lahardee Allah Allah and takuna high cotton lima - kalamoon madaba bite he says the fact that the creature is gonna say this in this world is by it right so there you go people you can judge for yourselves they there was no cut and paste there was nothing I wasn't kind of like doing one of those sigh wands it's very clear now you could say look I'm still not convinced fine but to say I'm misquoting is just poor scholarship that shows two things it shows one the level of Arabic of these people is very poor right they themselves and two if the Arabic is good [20:04] then they're too cloudy to judge objectively because the people who I spoke to that said if now I shouldn't say that the reason why they said that is because they said if now should can't say that because that doesn't make sense because there's a hadith in Sahih Muslim saying it see that this shows us so you're not reading it objectively you're reading it with a mindset that oh he couldn't have said this well that's your mindset and I contacted by the way shift led a reason I contacted him is because his father Abdullah led has one of the [20:42] most most compound collections of the a shot of the sir are the signs of the hour put together before his death and I visited him a few years back as well in when I went to sunshine in Morocco and so we're you know and and hamdulillah that was a great blessing meeting I spoke up at that time but because his father compiled one of the most comprehensive collections and and whether he agrees with that or not that his understanding so I messaged this to chefs led Muhammad Italy and I said look here's the pages can you read this do you do you feel on misquoting and he [21:22] actually confirmed as well in addition to other scholars I also message they confirmed he confirmed very clearly regardless of his understanding he said if not sure is saying this it'll happen on the hasha on the day of judgement to show those who denied the resurrection ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment EoQ_mXafx5o/s/7. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eoq_mxafx5o/s/7/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
