Is it permissible to discuss Allah's command to facilitate worship, as occurred in the narration of the reduction of the number of prayers from fifty to five after the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, reviewed it with our master Musa, peace be upon him? And what is the opinion regarding the one who claimed that this hadith is fabricated?

The one who utters such words is an denier and cannot be attributed to knowledge. The prophets, peace be upon them, are the most compliant of people to God's command. The reason the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, reviewed the matter of prayer with his Lord, upon the advice of Moses, peace be upon him, was that the command was not definitive, or it was to seek alleviation and remove hardship. Al-Hafiz said that the Prophet's review to seek alleviation indicated that the command was not binding every time except the last, and God's review concerning prayer indicated that the first command was not definitively obligatory, because what is definitively obligatory does not accept alleviation. The prophets', peace be upon them, review with Almighty God does not contradict contentment and submission. This differs from the stubborn issue of the Children of Israel regarding the cow. This alleviation was a mercy from Moses, peace be upon him, to the Ummah of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and a condemnation of the Jews for their inability to perform what they were commanded.
