The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : That is the question, O Shaykh. Some scholars say that Muslim did not adhere to his condition in the introduction of his Sahih, which is his reliance on contemporaneity alone without proof of meeting. They say that he explicitly stated its permissibility, but in his Sahih he sought more than that and verified the proof of meeting, so they did not accept anything except from those whose meeting with their teacher was proven.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : They followed up, meaning this Shaykh is a researcher of Sahih Muslim, so he followed up.
The Shaykh : Who is he?
The questioner : The Shaykh is Rabee' ibn Hadee.
The Shaykh : He followed up.
The questioner : He has studies.
The Shaykh : No problem.
The questioner : He says that he noticed this during his study of Sahih Muslim.
The Shaykh : This is not sufficient, because one who relies on contemporaneity does not deny that meeting is stronger. If you find there are few or many hadiths in which al-Bukhari's condition of meeting is found, it does not mean that he imposed this condition on himself. This does not necessitate what you mentioned or what you reported.
