He says this is how the report portrays the companions of the Prophet, calls it untrue, and observes that the Shia always use this report to attack the companions, which Sunnis allow by accepting it, doing themselves no justice. He then introduces a report he has mentioned before, from the book of jihad, hadith 2819, in which Sulayman the son of Dawud says that tonight he will go to a hundred, or in one version ninety-nine, women, each of whom will bear a warrior son, and does not say insha'Allah when his companion tells him to. ## Sources and names cited - Sahih al-Bukhari 4431 (bring me something to write on; is he speaking deliriously?): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4431 - Sahih al-Bukhari - Ibn Abbas - Shia ## Transcript (machine tier, 15:38–18:15) [15:19] very famous hadith this one the Prophet on his final deathbed this is incredible mahadji the book of to do with war fee and stuff like that battles and it's hadith number four four three one that the Prophet this I'm not a bass says that Yamagami is on on thursday or on this day i mean there's some difference I mean generally they're going with human he says the day is called your mother means right now on this day the prophet sala allah salem became very ill the pain like the pain is feeling a lot of pain so he said for Allah Oh Tony [15:57] October Kum Kee turban lentil Diliberto a burden bring me a piece of paper let me write something for you so you can never be misguided so for Tunisia oh well a young body I'm gonna be in Tennyson so they started to like argue amongst themselves and you know they start to have like a dispute amongst themselves and it doesn't it's not befitting to have this dispute with amongst in the presence of a prophet for Paolo they said this is the hell it's portraying the companions of the prophet of God for [16:34] colu Masha know what they said what's it what what's what's up with him what's up with the Prophet ah ha Jarrah is Stefan i stuffy move but a Hajj era means is he speaking deliriously like is he speaking nonsense like what's he talking about like a Hydra is to speak deliriously like you political omocha like like you you're not making any sense this is what this is what they apparently saying about the Prophet the Companions I mean look at the nonsense attributing that this this is not true like this kind of [17:09] stuff that it the way it's attributed we are doing at this the Shia always use this hadith to attack the Companions we don't do any justice to ourselves because we're allowing it we're allowing it so look at this one I mentioned this one before right right about seeking a child the Prophet Solomon hadith in kita Balaji had 2 8 1 9 that Solomon ELISA Lam the Prophet son of Dawood said tonight I will have sex with a hundred [17:47] women or in one narration 99 women right and he said they will all give me a baby the löwe give me a child who'll become a warrior and there's a few hadeeth with the same thing now he said they will all give me and somebody says his friend said to him say in sha Allah follow me Allah insha Allah he never said it so none of them got pregnant except one and she had a handicapped child and the Prophet said if he had said insha'Allah he would have been given like healthy warrior children from all of them now first of all just look at the absurdity ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment IijbMTxUEOw/s/5. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iijbmtxueow/s/5/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
