What is the meaning of 'an'anah in hadith?

Question : Ah. Ah. More than ten questions. If you can manage to be concise, may Allah reward you with good. The time for brevity has come. But I have made selections from them. And we told them that sometimes, like the young Shaykh, he might be able to answer them based on what he knows of our Shaykh's knowledge, and not from my own ijtihad, or from our Shaykh. If you can manage, from the many questions: What is the meaning of 'an'anah in hadith? The question. Among them is a question: What is the meaning of 'an'anah in hadith?

Answer : It means it is the opposite of explicit tadhhib (narration), such as when the narrator says, instead of saying "I heard so-and-so" or "so-and-so narrated to me," he says "from so-and-so." He says "from so-and-so," meaning he uses the word "from." So when the sanad (chain of narration) comes, for example, al-Bukhari says: "So-and-so narrated to me, from so-and-so, from so-and-so, from so-and-so, from the such-and-such Companion, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." This is called an 'an'anah sanad. And the one who said "from" is practicing 'an'anah, meaning he did not explicitly state the narration and the hearing. And this, of course, has a specific science in the science of hadith regarding whether it is a proof or not. Here the topic of tadlis (concealment of a defect in a chain) enters. So for one who is known for tadlis, his 'an'anah is not sufficient; rather, he must explicitly state what indicates direct hearing from him, in any wording, whether he says "narrated to me," or "I heard," or "I was present with him," or similar. This is the answer.
