Clarifying the Intended Meaning of the Scholars' Statement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: It remains a *hasan sahih* hadith. By this, I mean: *hasan* in its own right, and strengthened by some chains of narration, just as a *hasan li-ghayrihi* hadith is strengthened.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: It is strengthened by chains of narration. So this *hasan* that is *hasan* in its own right is strengthened by other chains that contain weakness, but they support one another, and this *hasan* hadith that is *hasan* in its own right rises to the level of
The student: authenticity.
The Shaykh: It becomes a *hasan sahih li-ghayrihi* hadith. So what is your opinion, may your honor remain?
The student: Just as I said yesterday, is it permissible to issue a fatwa, and you are in Madinah?
The Shaykh: In any case, knowledge is shared, praise be to Allah.
The questioner: By Allah, my Shaykh, we are always... and by the grace of Allah upon our Shaykh, I actually proposed to him a long time ago that he should do this. Of course, he does not have the time to investigate these corrections, whether they are corrections of the texts or corrections of the predecessors regarding the rules and terminology of hadith. I proposed it, and this proposal is still truly present in my mind, and I persist and persist in urging the Shaykh to dedicate some of the students of knowledge to collecting these corrections from all the books of the Shaykh and to compile them in a single volume. It is not a problem if it is divided into two sections: terminological corrections and corrections of hadiths, or of hadiths that were judged by so-and-so and so-and-so among the hadith scholars with a ruling that the Shaykh did not give, a ruling that contradicted the Shaykh. This has actually found acceptance with our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: There is no doubt, because it is a blessed opinion, as you say. Yes, I ask Allah for success.
The questioner: My Shaykh, the truth is, regarding two matters. The first matter is that I actually had material for my master's degree.
The Shaykh: In your hand, meaning it is your turn.
The student: It is without a doubt that these major additions to the science of hadith need to be organized.
The Shaykh: Correct.
The student: A new science that organizes this.
The Shaykh: Correct.
The student: ... like new rules... that truly encompass what existed at that time...
The Shaykh: Before... or after?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: It is strengthened by chains of narration. So this *hasan* that is *hasan* in its own right is strengthened by other chains that contain weakness, but they support one another, and this *hasan* hadith that is *hasan* in its own right rises to the level of
