Al-Albaani, Tea and an Innovator

by The Albaani Site


A brother, an American who had reverted to Islam, invited Shaikh al-Albaani to his home. The person bringing the tea came in intending to serve the Shaikh first, however, the person on the right was as-Saqqāf. So Shaikh Al-Albaani said, “Go back and start with the one on your right, even though he is an innovator.”
Liqā Maftūḥ maʿa Abu Layla al-Atharī.
