Did it become established from Imam Malik that he practiced tadlis of equalization in al-Muwatta?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...whether he enters the first tier or is excluded from it.
The Shaykh : What we know is bad.
The questioner : What is reported regarding a type of tadlis in his book al-Muwatta is that he omits some of the sheikhs, specifically the sheikhs of tadlis of equalization.
The Shaykh : The condition for tadlis of equalization is that it be established from him; otherwise, if one has a difficult hadith, one does not say, for example, that he equalized, but rather that he narrated a broken, difficult hadith. Therefore, in tadlis of equalization, the one who commits tadlis should acknowledge the equalization, meaning that he omits his sheikh's sheikh in order to protect his sheikh. This has not been known from Imam Malik.
The questioner : Is it not called ijadah?
The Shaykh : Heh.
The questioner : Ijah?
The Shaykh : An addition?
The questioner : Ijah, ijadah, omitting his sheikh's sheikh and bringing the Companion.
The Shaykh : I did not understand. What are you saying?
The questioner : Ijah?
The Shaykh : Ijazah?
The questioner : Ijah with a dal?
The Shaykh : Ijah?
The questioner : Or wajadah, that is what he means.
The questioner : No, he does not make the chain mujawwad, as he mentioned this to the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, it has no relation to tajwid. You mean tajwid, of course, which does not involve reciting the Qur'an.
The questioner : No, he does not omit, for example, the weak one that he considers weak for others, and make the entire chain mujawwad with men.
The Shaykh : The one who makes it mujawwad is the one who commits tadlis of equalization. He makes the chain appear sound from the defect, so he makes it mujawwad in appearance, but in reality it is defective. This is a characteristic of the one who commits tadlis of equalization.
