Can a specific limit be set for the number of trustworthy narrators if they narrate from a specific narrator who is judged to be trustworthy?

The questioner : Can a specific limit be set for the number of trustworthy narrators if they narrate from a specific narrator who is judged to be trustworthy?

The Shaykh : This requires investigating the memorizers who no longer exist.

The questioner: Allahu Akbar.

The Shaykh : I noticed my words.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : It requires investigating the memorizers who no longer exist, because those who exist today, like us, have their knowledge in the lines of books, not in their chests.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The questioner : Our teacher, may Allah preserve you, observes in your methodology that you seem to make the minimum limit three narrators.

The Shaykh : Trustworthy narrators.

The questioner : Trustworthy narrators, yes, and whatever exceeds that is for the best and a blessing.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : As for a minimum limit, can we say three?

The Shaykh : Yes, if they are trustworthy.

The questioner : If they are trustworthy.

The Shaykh : But the issue is also subject to fluctuation.

The questioner: Oh, wonderful.

The Shaykh : If, for example, a trustworthy narrator has some defect in his memory.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : The issue becomes unsettled, meaning.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : But if they are among the trustworthy narrators about whom there is no dispute, people feel reassured about including them in this rule.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
