Relying Only on What is Authentic in the Seerah – Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad

 

Question: If only what is authentic in the Seerah is relied upon, then we would lose a big portion of the Prophetic Seerah. So how do we rely upon what is authentic only?

Answer: “What has come in the Seerah is not established except if the chain of narration is authentic. As for what is other than that, then it is not said: it is established. It is not taken until its chain of narration is authentic”.

[Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 526]
