Q203: Fabricated hadith in your video about Abu Usamah?

Question

Salaam,

I have watched your video refuting Abu Usamah.

Molana saab, rumors are going around that the hadith that you stated at 3:55 is fabricated.

“stated that it is fabricated, he said he checked it in a book by Imam Ibn Jawzi in which he has compiled fabricated ahadith”

Can you please clarify this.

Answer

That hadith is not fabricated, it’s not a hadith. I was mentioning the habit of Imam Bukhari rahmatullahi alayh and in that I mentioned his own quote.  I was supposed to say “He says in one place” and by mistake I said “He says in one hadith”.  It was a slip of the tongue, and it is not difficult to understand that; I was feeling too much pressure when delivering that lecture.  I made some mistakes which I clarified in my dars of the following week.
