The questioner : Is it true that you said: If al-Tabarani narrates a hadith alone, it is weak, and this was in the story of Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim with al-Mahdi?
The Shaykh : If al-Tabarani narrates what?
The questioner : If al-Tabarani narrates a hadith alone, it is weak.
The Shaykh : No, I did not say that, I do not say it, and I will not say it, because the criterion for someone like al-Tabarani is to look at the chain of narration of any hadith he presents. If the chain is authentic, from his shaykh down to the Companion, then it is an authentic hadith, even if al-Tabarani narrates it alone.
