The Ruling on Narrating from One Who Spoke of Divine Decree
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Ma'bad al-Juhani was the first to speak of qadar (divine decree). Is it permissible for us to accept his narration of hadith, given that he called to the bid'ah (religious innovation) of qadar? When is the narration of him and those like him rejected? It is known that some scholars narrated from him.
Answer:
They say that if he did not reach the level of kufr (disbelief), his narration is accepted. If he did not reach the level of kufr and is not known for lying, his narration is accepted. As for one who denies the knowledge of Allah among the Qadariyyah, his narration is not accepted because he is a disbeliever. As for one who did not reach the limit of kufr and is truthful and trustworthy, his narration is accepted, because he is merely a transmitter and a conveyer. Yes. May Allah reward you, O brother.
