Q: I am really worried. I was talking to a friend and we were arguing on something. He said if you leave it for 40 days you will forget it. Get used to not having it (at that time I didn’t have it in mind that it’s a hadith). Then he said it’s a hadith and we were in argument and I said I know it’s a hadith and I said don’t put hadith into worldly matters. Since then I am worried that may be I denied a haidth unintentionally. I need your guidance.
A: If through uttering these words, you intended to respect the Hadith as you did not want the Mubaarak Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) to be quoted in trivial worldly matters, then you will not be sinful.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
