Is the narrator’s fame for seeking knowledge a condition for authenticating a narrator based on the abundance of narrations from trustworthy narrators?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: That is, some of them mentioned that the narrator’s fame for seeking knowledge is a condition in addition to the abundance of narrations from trustworthy narrators. Is this a condition?
The Shaykh: And how is fame known except through these narrators? There is nothing more than that.
The questioner: That is, one does not say, for example, that he was prolific in narration, or that he was a traveler, or such and such a description...
The Shaykh: This is not a condition, but this is not the subject.
The questioner: It is not a condition.
The Shaykh: Yes, indeed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner: That this is an additional matter, our teacher.
The Shaykh: An additional and beneficial matter.
The questioner: But its absence does not negate the rule.
The Shaykh: Yes.
