The Ruling on Asserting That a Single Narrator’s Report Is a Proof

Question:
He says: Is it not correct to say, without qualification, that a single narrator’s report is a proof? That is because the rule is that Allah will rectify you?

Answer:
That is because the rule is that the general is understood in its complete form. Who told you this? Is this a rule you made up yourself? The general is understood as a common individual of its kind. For this reason, when Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commanded the Children of Israel to slaughter a cow, if they had slaughtered any cow that the name applied to, it would have been valid. But when they made it difficult, Allah made it difficult for them by looking at the attributes, so they did not find but one cow with a certain person. He then asked them to fill its skin with gold; because it was specified, they made it difficult, so Allah made it difficult for them. So, my brother, remove this rule from your mind; because it is an incorrect rule. And then, as long as al-Shafi'i, who is an imam in exegesis, an imam in language, an imam in principles, an imam in jurisprudence, and an imam in hadith, as long as he mentioned these conditions, are you trying to narrow them down?
