The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh- May Allah preserve you - , who are the contemporary researchers whose research and tracing of hadiths can be trusted, and may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh: In my view, these people are few in number, and we hope for good and blessing in the emerging youth. A few years ago, there was a distinguished scholar whom I acknowledge was firmly established in this science; namely,The Shaykh : Ahmad Shakir, the Egyptian judge, but he passed away to the mercy of Allah several years ago. Now, there are some young men in some countries who have spent a considerable amount of time in this field of knowledge regarding tracing, authenticating, and weakening hadiths. Among them, for example, in Damascus until now, is a brother of ours named "Abd al-Qadir al-Arna'ut," and another named "Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut," and some of the well-known Arabs, one of whom is "Ali ibn Abd al-HamidAl-Halabi : ," and he is one of our brothers in Oman, as well as "Salim al-Hilali," and who else? The Egyptian?
The questioner: "Abu Ishaq al-Huwayni."
The Shaykh: "Al-Huwayni." So, if these people continue in what they are engaged in, I hope they will fulfill some of this scholarly duty which the majority of scholars have neglected. Anyone else?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: As for "Miqbal," "The Shaykh : Miqbal," he is also in Yemen, and he is acceptable, and he was at the Islamic University when we were teaching the subject of hadith.
Yes.
