Some brothers said to him (ie: Shaykh al-Albānī): “O Shaykh, there is someone among us who opposes you, and likes to speak ill of you! Should we boycott them?”
قال له بعض الإخوة: يا شيخنا عندنا رجل يعاديك! ويتكلم فيك! فهل نهجره؟؟

Our Shaykh replied: “Does he oppose the individual al-Albānī (ie: as a personality),
فقال شيخنا: هل يعادي شخص الألباني

or does he oppose al-ʿaqīdah (ie: the creed) that al-Albānī holds and calls to,
أم أنه يعادي العقيدة التي يحملها ويدعو إليها الألباني؟

which is the ʿaqīdah of the Book and the Sunnah!
عقيدة الكتاب والسنة؟

If he opposes the creed of the Book and the Sunnah,
فإذا كان يعادي عقيدة الكتب والسنة!

then he should be invited for discussion (ie: advised) and be patient with.
فإنه يحاور ويصبر عليه؛

However, if you see afterwards that boycotting him has maṣlaḥah (ie: is more beneficial and useful), then go ahead and boycott him.
فإذا رأيت بعد أن من المصلحة والأنفع هجره؛ فيهجر.

As for if he opposes the individual al-Albānī while he agrees with us on the path of the Book and the Sunnah, then do not (boycott him).”
وأما إذا كان يعادي شخص الألباني! وهو يتفق معنا على خط الكتاب والسنة فلا.

(The Messenger ﷺ said): “Indeed, one wing of a fly contains poison
" إن أحد جناحي الذباب سم

and the other (wing) contains the shafāʾ (ie: cure).
والآخر شفاء،

If a fly falls into food, then immerse it, for it will release the poison first and the shafāʾ later.”
فإذا وقع في الطعام فامقلوه، فإنه يقدم السم ويؤخر الشفاء ".

Reported by (Imām) Aḥmad (in his Musnad 3/67): Yazīd narrated to us, Ibn Abī Ḏīʿb narrated to us, from Saʿīd b. Khālid who said: I visited Abū Salamah and he served us porridge and wheat, then a fly fell into the food.
رواه أحمد (3/67): حدثنا يزيد قال: حدثنا ابن أبي ذئب، عن سعيد بن خالد قال: دخلت على أبي سلمة فأتانا بزبد وكتلة، فأسقط ذباب في الطعام،

Abū Salamah dipped the fly with his finger.
فجعل أبو سلمة يمقله بأصبعه فيه،

I said, “O uncle, what are you doing?”
فقلت: يا خال! ما تصنع؟

He replied, “Indeed Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī informed me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said (the above ḥadīth).”
فقال: إن أبا سعيد الخدري حدثني عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: فذكره.

Also reported by Ibn Mājah #3504: Abū Bakr b. Abī Shaybah narrated to us, Yazīd b. Hārūn told us in a marfūʿ form without mentioning al-qiṣṣah (ie: the story as above).
ورواه ابن ماجه (3504): حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون به مرفوعا دون القصة.

al-Ṭayālisī also reported it in his Musnad #2188 by way of Ibn Abī Ḏīʿb, as well as al-Nasāʿī (2/193), Abū Yaʿlā in his Musnad (2/65) and Ibn Ḥibbān in al-Thiqāt (2/102).
ورواه الطيالسي في " مسنده " (2188): حدثنا ابن أبي ذئب به، وعنه رواه النسائي (2/193)، وأبو يعلى في " مسنده " (ق 65/2) وابن حبان في " الثقات " (2/102).

I say: The sanad (ie: chain of this ḥadīth) is ṣaḥīḥ (ie: authentic) and its narrators are thiqqāt (ie: reliable),
قلت: وهذا سند صحيح رجاله ثقات

they are the narrators of the two Shaykhs (ie: al-Bukhārī and Muslim) except for Saʿīd b. Khālid, who is al-Qāridhī whose status is ṣudūq (ie: truthful), as was stated by al-Ḏahabī and al-ʿAsqalānī.
رجال الشيخين غير سعيد بن خالد وهو القارظي وهو صدوق كما قال الذهبي والعسقلاني.

Thirdly: The ḥadīth of Anas, reported by al-Bazzār and its narrators are of the Ṣaḥīḥ (collections).
3 - وأما حديث أنس: فرواه البزار ورجاله رجال الصحيح.

It was also reported by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Awsaṭ, as well as in Majmaʿ ʿl-Zawāʿid (5/38), and by Ibn Abī Khaythamah in his Tārīkh al-Kabīr.
رواه الطبراني في " الأوسط " كما في " مجمع الزوائد " (5/38)، وابن أبي خيثمة في " تاريخه الكبير ".

al-Ḥāfidh said: Its chain is ṣaḥīḥ, as mentioned in Nayl al-Awṭār (I/55).
قال الحافظ: وإسناده صحيح، كما في " نيل الأوطار " (1/55).

By Allah, we indeed disavow al-akhtāʾ al-ḥukkām (ie: the errors of rulers) and others,
والله إنَّنا لنبرأ من أخطاء الحكام وغيرهم،

and we love those who implement the Sharīʿah (ie: law of) Allah.
ونحب من يطبق شريعة الله،

We strongly dislike the mukhālafah (ie: opposition of) al-Sharīʿah and never support any mukhālafah or bāṭil (ie: falsehood).
ونكره جداً مخالفة هذه الشريعة، ولا نؤيد أيَّ مخالفة أو باطلٍ أبداً،

al-Rasūl al-Karīm (ie: the noble Messenger ﷺ) said, as in the ḥadīth of Umm Salāmah:
والرسولُ الكريمُ يقول -كما في حديث أم سلمة:

“There will be rulers whom you will recognize and denounce.
ستكون أمراء فتعرفون وتنكرون

Whoever recognizes them is absolved, and whoever denounces them is safe.
فمن عرف بَرِئ، ومن أنكرَ سَلِم،

But those who are pleased and follow them…”
ولكن من رضي وتابع،

They asked: “Should we not fight them?”
قالوا: أفلا نقاتلهم؟

He replied: “No, as long as they pray.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (3/1480)]
قال: لا ماصلوا ». [صحيح مسلم (١٤٨٠/٣)]

Thus, we - in shāʾ Allah - denounce the wrongs to the best of our ability,
فنحن ننكر المنكرات -إن شاء الله- بقدر ما نستطيع

with our hearts, tongues, and pens,
بقلوبنا وبألسنتنا وبأقلامنا،

within our capacity.
في حدود طاقتنا،

If we are unable to change something, we denounce it in our hearts,
وإذا عجزنا عن شيء ننكره بقلوبنا،

and never approve of it
ولا نرضاه أبداً،

(but those who are pleased and follow them).
(ولكن من رضي وتابع).

Then indeed, many people are under the impression that this ḥadīth contradicts what is established by doctors, ثم إن كثيرا من الناس يتوهمون أن هذا الحديث يخالف ما يقرره الأطباء that is, that flies carry germs and if they land on food or drink, those germs…
Medical experts themselves have differing opinions on this matter.
وقد اختلفت آراء الأطباء حوله،

I have read many articles in various journals, some supporting and some refuting this.
وقرأت مقالات كثيرة في مجلات مختلفة كل يؤيد ما ذهب إليه تأييدا أو ردا،

As believers, we trust the authenticity of this ḥadīth and we are sure that the Prophet ﷺ “does not speak from his own desire, but rather it is divine revelation given to him.”
ونحن بصفتنا مؤمنين بصحة الحديث وأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم (ما ينطق عن الهوى، إن هو إلا وحي يوحى)،

We are not too concerned about the verification of the ḥadīth from a medical standpoint,
لا يهمنا كثيرا ثبوت الحديث من وجهة نظر الطب،

because the ḥadīth stands on its own and does not require external validation.
لأن الحديث برهان قائم في نفسه لا يحتاج إلى دعم خارجي ومع ذلك

However, faith increases when one sees that an authentic ḥadīth aligns with accurate modern science.
فإن النفس تزداد إيمانا حين ترى الحديث الصحيح يوافقه العلم الصحيح،

Therefore, I find it beneficial to share a summary of a lecture attended by a medical expert at the Jumʿīyah al-Hidāyah al-Islāmīyah in Miṣr (ie: Egypt) regarding this ḥadīth.
ولذلك فلا يخلو من فائدة أن أنقل إلى القراء خلاصة محاضرة ألقاها أحد الأطباء في جمعية الهداية الإسلامية في مصر حول هذا الحديث

He stated: “The fly lands on filthy areas full of various disease-causing germs.
قال: " يقع الذباب على المواد القذرة المملؤة بالجراثيم التي تنشأ منها الأمراض المختلفة،

Some of these germs stick to its body and some are ingested.
فينقل بعضها بأطرافه، ويأكل بعضا،

This leads to the formation of a substance within the fly's body, referred to by medical experts as 'antibacterial'
فيتكون في جسمه من ذلك مادة سامة يسميها علماء الطب بـ " مبعد البيكتريا "،

which kills many disease-causing germs,
وهي تقتل كثيرا من جراثيم الأمراض،

thus making it impossible for these germs to remain alive or have an effect on the human body in the presence of this antibacterial substance.
ولا يمكن لتلك الجراثيم أن تبقى حية أو يكون لها تأثير في جسم الإنسان في حال وجود مبعد البكتريا.

Furthermore, one of the fly's wings has a unique property:
وأن هناك خاصية في أحد جناحي الذباب،

it corners the bacteria to its tip.
هي أنه يحول البكتريا إلى ناحيته،

Therefore, if a fly falls into food or drink and transfers the germs sticking to its body into that food or drink,
وعلى هذا فإذا سقط الذباب في شراب أو طعام وألقي الجراثيم العالقة بأطرافه في ذلك الشراب،

the closest and first line of defense against these germs is the antibacterial substance carried by the fly in its body near one of its wings.
فإن أقرب مبيد لتلك الجراثيم وأول واق منها هو مبعد البكتريا الذي يحمله الذباب في جوفه قريبا من أحد جناحيه،

If there is a disease, its cure is near it, in the other wing. Hence, dipping the entire fly into the food or drink and then removing it is sufficient to kill the attached germs and negate their effects.”
فإذا كان هناك داء فدواؤه قريب منه، وغمس الذباب كله وطرحه كاف لقتل الجراثيم التي كانت عالقة، وكاف في إبطال عملها ".

Ḥarmala b. Yaḥyá reported that al-Shāfiʿī said:
أخبرنا أبو عبد الله الحافظ قال: حدثنا أبو الوليد: حسَّان بن محمد الفقيه قال: سمعت الحسن بن سفيان يقول: سمعت حَرْمَلَة بن يحيى يقول: سمعت الشافعي يقول:

[Once] on a Friday afternoon, Ibn ʿAjlān publicly criticized the governor of al-Madīnah for letting his pants hang below his ankles.
إن «ابن عجلان» أنكر علي والي المدينة إِسْبَال الإِزار يوم الجمعة على رؤوس الناس،

For this, the governor ordered him to be imprisoned.
فأمر بحبسه،

(Later) Ibn Abī Ḏiʿb approached the governor and interceded on behalf of Ibn ʿAjlān, saying: “Indeed, Ibn ʿAjlān is a aḥmaq (ie: foolish man).
فدخل «ابن أبي ذئب» على الولي فشفع له وقال: إنّ ابن عجلان أحمق،

He sees you consuming al-ḥarām (ie: what is unlawful),
يراك تأكل الحرام

wearing al-ḥarām,
وتلبس الحرام

and doing such-and-such without criticizing you for it.
وتفعل كذا فلا ينكره عليك،

Yet he only starts to criticize you when you let your pants hang below your ankles.”
ثم ينكر عليك إسبال الإزرار؟!

After this (Ibn ʿAjlān) was released.
فَخَلَّى سبيلَه.

In the Sunan of Abī Dāwūd it was narrated that ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back from the campaign to Tābūk or Khaybar, and in my alcove there was a curtain. The breeze came and lifted the edge of the curtain…
al-Ḥāfidh (Ibn Ḥajar) said: “This ḥadīth is quoted as evidence that it is permissible to keep dolls and toys for girls to play with. This is an exception from the general prohibition on keeping images.
قال الحافظ: "واستدل بهذا الحديث على جواز اتخاذ صور البنات واللعب من أجل لعب البنات بهن وخص ذلك من عموم النهي عن اتخاذ الصور

This was stated definitively by (al-Qāḍī) ʿIyāḍ, who narrated it from al-jamhūr (ie: the majority of scholars),
وبه جزم عياض ونقله عن الجمهور

and said that they permitted the sale of dolls to girls for the purpose of training them from a young age to take care of their houses and their children.”

This ḥadīth is taken as evidence that it is permissible to have dolls and toys for girls to play with. This is an exception to the prohibition of images. This was stated by (al-Qāḍī) ʿIyāḍ, and it was narrated from al-jamhūr (the majority) that they allowed…
The statement: “It is forbidden to create images of animals” applies even if the image is of a form that could not live, like mythical creatures, or if it is made from clay or sweets.
قَوْلُهُ: (وَيَحْرُمُ تَصْوِيرُ حَيَوَانٍ) وَلَوْ عَلَى هَيْئَةٍ لَا يَعِيشُ مَعَهَا مَا لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ كَمَا مَرَّ أَوْ مِنْ طِينٍ أَوْ مِنْ حَلَاوَةٍ،

Trading such images is permissible,
وَيَصِحُّ بَيْعُهَا

and it is not forbidden to look at them or to keep them, according to our teacher al-Ramlī.
وَلَا يَحْرُمُ التَّفَرُّجُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَا اسْتِدَامَتُهَا قَالَهُ شَيْخُنَا الرَّمْلِيُّ

Our teacher az-Ziyādi disagreed with this view and considered both acts forbidden.
وَخَالَفَهُ شَيْخُنَا الزِّيَادِيُّ فِي الْأَخِيرِينَ فَحَرَّمَهُمَا،

An exception is made for dolls that girls play with, as ʿĀʿishah, may Allah be pleased with her, played with dolls in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ.
وَيُسْتَثْنَى «لِعَبَّ الْبَنَاتِ لِأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا - كَانَتْ تَلْعَبُ بِهَا عِنْدَهُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -»

Allah has permitted (the men) to marry (up to) four wives by His statement: {two, or three or four} (4:3)
فَإِذَا ثَبَتَ أَنَّ نفقات الزوجات واجبة فقد إباحة اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَنْكِحَ أَرْبَعًا بِقَوْلِهِ: {مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ} [النساء: 3]

and then He recommends to suffice with one, by His statement: {but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly, then (marry) only one} (4:3).
وَنَدَبَهُ إِلَى الِاقْتِصَارِ عَلَى واحدة بقوله: {فإن خفتم أن لا تعدلوا فواحدة}

Ibn Dāwūd and a ṭāʿifah (ie: group) of Ahl al-Dhāhir (ie: the Dhāhiriyyah) held the opinion that it is better to complete the marriage by having four wives if (the man) has the capability of carrying out his responsibilities towards them (the wives),
وَذَهَبَ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الظَّاهِرِ إِلَى أَنَّ الْأَوْلَى أَنْ يَسْتَكْمِلَ نِكَاحَ الْأَرْبَعِ إذا قدر على القيام بهن

and he should not restrict himself to having just one (wife),
ولا يتقصر عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ،

because the Prophet ﷺ did not restrict himself to one.
لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم َ - لَمْ يَقْتَصِرْ عَلَيْهَا،

al-Shāfīʿī recommended that a man limit himself to one wife, even though it is permissible for him to marry more, in order to protect himself from wronging them by inclining more to some of them or being unable to spend equally upon them.
وَاسْتَحَبَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ أَنْ يَقْتَصِرَ عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ وَإِنْ أُبِيحَ لَهُ أَكْثَرُ. لِيَأْمَنَ الْجَوْرَ بِالْمَيْلِ إِلَى بَعْضِهِنَّ أَوْ بِالْعَجْزِ عَنْ نَفَقَاتِهِنَّ

His (ie: Ibn Abī Duwād's) death occurred on Saturday seventh day to the end of the month of Muḥarram of the year under discussion. وَقَدْ كَانَ مَوْتُهُ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ لِسَبْعٍ بَقِينَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ It was his son, al-ʿAbbās…
And from them was Abū Yaʿqūb Yūsuf b. Yaḥyá al-Buwayṭī:
ومنهم أبو يعقوب يوسف بن يحيى البويطي:

He died in Baġdād while imprisoned with shackles on his feet.
مات ببغداد في السجن والقيد في رجله،

He was brought from Miṣr due to the fitnah of (Khalq) al-Qurʾān (which the governors at the time were testing the scholars with).
وكان حمل من مصر في فتنة القرآن

He refused to say that it was created,
فأبى أن يقول بخلقه

So he was imprisoned until he died in 231H.
فسجن وقيد حتى مات سنة إحدى وثلاثين ومائتين.

al-Sājī said in his book: When Abū Yaʿqūb heard al-muʿaḏḏin (ie: the call to prayer) while he was in prison on Fridays,
قال الساجي في كتابه: كان أبو يعقوب إذا سمع المؤذن وهو في السجن يوم الجمعة

he would make ġusl (ie: take a bath), and put on his clothes,
اغتسل ولبس ثيابه

and walk (towards the prayer) until he reached the prison door.
ومشى حتى يبلغ باب الحبس

The (prison) guard would ask him, “Where do you think you are going?”
فيقول له السجان: أين تريد؟

He would reply, “Wherever the caller to Allah (ie: muʿaḏḏin) is.”
فيقول: حيث داعي الله

(The guard) would say: “Turn back, ʿāfāk Allah (ie: may Allah pardon you)!”
فيقول: ارجع عافاك الله،

Abū Yaʿqūb would then say, “O Allah, you know that I responded to your call, but they prevented me.”
فيقول أبو يعقوب: اللهم إنك تعلم أني قد أجبت داعيك فمنعوني.

قلت قد آذَى ابْن معِين نَفسه بذلك

People did not pay heed to his stance on al-Shāfiʿī or his opinions regarding a group of affirmers.
وَلم يلْتَفت النَّاس الى كَلَامه فِي الشَّافِعِي وَلَا الى كَلَامه فِي جمَاعَة من الاثبات

Similarly, people disregarded his authentication of certain individuals.”
كَمَا لم يلتفتوا الى توثيقه لبَعض النَّاس

We always accept his (ie: Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn's) statement in criticism and consider it superior to that of many of al-ḥuffādh (ie: traditionalists),
فَإنَّا نقبل قَوْله دَائِما فِي الْجرْح وَالتَّعْدِيل ونقدمه على كثير من الْحفاظ

as long as he does not contradict al-jamhūr (ie: the majority of the scholars) in his ijtihād (ie: assessment of a person).
مَا لم يُخَالف الْجُمْهُور فِي اجْتِهَاده.

If he alone authenticates a narrator whom al-jamhūr (find weak),
فَإِذا انْفَرد بتوثيق من لينه الْجُمْهُور

or weakens a narrator whose narrations al-jamhūr accept,
أَو بِتَضْعِيف من وَثَّقَهُ الْجُمْهُور وقبلوه

we defer to the statements of al-aʿimmah (ie: the leading scholars), disregarding a shāḏ (ie: lone) opinion.
فَالْحكم لعُمُوم أَقْوَال الْأَئِمَّة لَا لمن شَذَّ

al-Ṭaḥāwī said: Abū ʿUbayd reminded me with different Masāʿil (matters),
وقال الطحاوي: كَانَ أبو عبيد يذاكرني بالمسائل،

so I answered him one day in regards to a matter.
فأجبته يوماً فِي مسألة،

So he said to me: “This is not the statement of Abū Ḥanīfah!”
فقال لي مَا هَذَا قول أبي حنيفة.

So I said to him: “O Qāḍī (ie: judge), is it that everything Abū Ḥanīfah said I say with it?”
فقلت لَهُ: أَيُّها القاضي أوَ كل مَا قاله أبو حنيفة أقول بِهِ.

He said: “I did not think you were except a muqallid (ie: blind follower).”
قال: مَا ظننتك إِلاَّ مقلِّداً.

So I said to him: “And is he who makes taqlīd except a fanatic?”
فقلت لَهُ: وهل يقلد إِلاَّ عَصَبِي

So he said to me: “Or slow minded (ie: foolish person).”
فقال لي أَوْ غبي.

I am very impressed with the statements of Abū Zarʿah regarding al-jarḥ wa ʿl-taʿdīl (ie: criticism and validation);
قُلْتُ: يُعْجِبُنِي كَثِيْراً كَلاَمَ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ فِي الجَرْحِ وَالتَّعْدِيْلِ،

they reflect al-waraʿ (ie: piety) and deep knowledge.
يَبِيْنُ عَلَيْهِ الوَرَعُ وَالمَخْبَرَةُ،

Unlike his colleague Abū Ḥātim, who was excessively critical.
بِخِلاَفِ رَفِيْقِهِ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ، فَإِنَّهُ جَرَّاحٌ.

And Abū Ismāʿīl ʿAbd Allah b. Muḥammad al-Harawī said: وقال أبو إسماعيل عبد الله بن محمد الهروي بعده: “I am a Ḥanbali so long I live and even if I die أنا حنبلي ما حييت وإن أمت. As such I command the people to be Ḥanbalis.” فوصيتي للناس أن يتحنبلوا And…
There is no doubt that when the Imām al-Shāfiʿī resided in Miṣr (ie: Egypt) and differed with his contemporaries among the Mālikis,
وَلاَ رَيْبَ أَنَّ الإِمَامَ لَمَّا سَكَنَ مِصْرَ، وَخَالَفَ أَقْرَانَهُ مِنَ المَالِكيَّةِ،

and weakened some of their positions on furūʿ (ie: subsidiary issues) with evidence from the Sunnah,
وَوَهَّى بَعْضَ فُرُوْعِهِم بِدَلاَئِلِ السُّنَّةِ،

and disagreed with his Shaykh (Mālik) on certain issues,
وَخَالَفَ شَيْخَهُ فِي مَسَائِلَ،

they were pained by him,
تَأَلَّمُوا مِنْهُ،

they attacked him,
وَنَالُوا مِنْهُ،

and animosity arose between them.
وَجَرَتْ بَيْنَهُم وَحْشَةٌ
