Discussion of Sa'id ibn Mansur's unique transmission from his shaykh Hushaym of an addition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For example, the hadith of Abu al-Zubayr. He said: The scholars agreed to accept the hadiths of the two Sahihs. This is a statement that is made, and it must be made, but the investigation does not stop at this saying. How many hadiths in the two Sahihs have been criticized by the imams who came after al-Bukhari, and then those who came later, such as Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Hajar, and others. Beginners stop at this phrase, but they do not know that what is general in a chapter is often specified.
The questioner : Allow us a brief explanation.
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : He is one of the preservers: Sa'id ibn Mansur, the author of the Sunan, of which two parts have been printed. Sa'id ibn Mansur uniquely transmitted this addition from his shaykh Hushaym, while others besides Sa'id ibn Mansur narrated the hadith from Hushaym, and others besides Hushaym, a group including Shu'bah, the noble preserver, narrated it from Hushaym's shaykh, whose name is Husayn ibn 'Abd al-Rahman or Abu 'Abd al-Rahman—I am uncertain now—and the most likely is Husayn ibn 'Abd al-Rahman. All these trustworthy narrators narrated the hadith with the wording narrated by the two Shaykhs:Sahih al-Bukhari 6472 meaning: they do not seek ruqyah. Sa'id ibn Mansur contradicted them all and added that addition, saying: Sahih Muslim 220a.
I have not found, up to this hour, anyone who pointed out the weakness of the addition except the preserver and imam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book *Al-Fatawa*.
This is among his virtues and his criticism, which indicates his memorization and the precision of his criticism of hadiths, even if some of them are in the Sahih.

and they are those who do not practice Ar-Ruqya
هم الذين لا يسترقونThey are those persons who neither practise charm, nor ask others to practise it
هم الذين لا يرقون ولا يسترقونI have not found, up to this hour, anyone who pointed out the weakness of the addition
They do not seek ruqyah
