The questioner : Last question, Shaykh, if you please. What is the statement of Ya'qub ibn Shu'bah about al-Rabi' ibn Subayh and 'Abd al-Hamid ibn Ziyad ibn An'am? He said: "He is truthful, weak, his hadith is sound, sound, weak, truthful, his hadith is very weak." Does he combine these expressions?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : What is the difference, Shaykh, between them? And is there a dispute regarding them?
The Shaykh : By Allah, this expression is not precise. It appears that he was hesitant about the man, and therefore he used these conflicting expressions. And peace be upon you.
