The Meaning of Mu'allal in the Hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And nothing remains from the standpoint of aggression, so if they are against their will,
The Shaykh:
A mu'allal hadith is one that contains a defect in its chain of narration, whether due to poor memorization, anomaly, or something else; that is, it contains a defect that invalidates it. However, this hadith is not actually mu'allal, because the description of it as mu'allal is based on a misconception. Some of the hadith memorizers mistakenly assumed that it was narrated by Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Yamani. Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Yamani is a narrator whose reports are abandoned. But the truth and reality is that it is not from the narration of this man; rather, it is from the narration of Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Khawlani, who is trustworthy. The error occurred regarding the name of the man; Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Khawlani is trustworthy, and he is the one who narrated this hadith, not Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Yamani. Therefore, on this basis, it is not mu'allal, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
