The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh : , concerning the biography of Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar al-Attaridi, he was mentioned by Ibn ... .
The Shaykh: ... who is he?
The questioner: Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar al-Attaridi, he was biographed by ... in the first volume, and he said in the biography: They did not find fault with him except that he narrated from those he had not met. And for this phrase, al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned him in "Tabaqat al-Mudallisun" (The Ranks of the Concealers of Defects). The definition of a mudallis, or the man who concealed defects, is known. Does the action of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar apply to this man in the biography in his book, in terms of the definition of a mudallis; that is, one who narrated hadiths he did not hear ...? Perhaps the question is clear?
The Shaykh: I assume he was sending (narrating without a direct link), and it is not correct to include him among the mudallisun (concealers of defects) if it is as you described.
The questioner : It is like this.
The Shaykh: This is not a mudallis (one who conceals defects).
The questioner: And is it said that the term "mudallis" among the early scholars, or its generalization among the later scholars?
The Shaykh: It is possible that the matter is so, but if the matter were broader, then everyone who sent (narrated without a direct link) would be a mudallis, and that is not the case.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
