Clarifying Imam Ahmad's statement regarding the narration of Ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It appears that Imam Ahmad, in his own words about it, when he said it was a denounced narration, said: "And when the people of Madinah want to see it, they say it is from Ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir".
The Shaykh : All right?
The questioner : It appears that he sees in this that he is weakening the hadith?
The Shaykh : I did not understand where the weakening of the hadith is taken from this word of Imam Ahmad.
The questioner : When the scholars of hadith spoke about this, they said that perhaps Imam Ahmad intended, meaning they attributed a reason to what I did not understand, saying that perhaps they intend that the hadith is anomalous?
The Shaykh : This was previously referred to, and for that reason he spoke about it. When I found two corroborating narrations that joined the narration of 'Abd al-Rahman of this hadith, they were evidence that the hadith does not fall into the category of denounced narrations, because it has that corroborating narration, and because Imam al-Bukhari included it in his *Sahih*.
