We discussed it regarding the word "path," you said

The questioner: Excuse me, my Shaykh, regarding my question that we asked yesterday about the word "path" here, something confused me. You said, my Shaykh, in the tracing of the hadith, "and al-Bazzar narrated it in its entirety, similar to it, from the path of 'Abdullah ibn Dawud." When I went back, my Shaykh, to al-Bazzar, and it is before me, the hadith in which this 'Abdullah ibn Dawud, the Shaykh of al-Bazzar's Shaykh, is mentioned, what is the secret in mentioning the Shaykh of al-Bazzar's Shaykh and not mentioning al-Bazzar's Shaykh?

The Shaykh: What is the secret, what?

The questioner: In that when you said "from the path," you did not mention it from the path of al-Bazzar's Shaykh, because the hadith is present in "Musnad al-Bazzar."

The Shaykh: Because it appears from here that the path begins to differ from the previous paths.

The questioner: Yes, so, our Shaykh, clarify for us, meaning, this word "path" here, where is it placed? Clarify, meaning, your words, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Here I said, for every occasion there is a statement. Now, what is his name, this 'Abdullah ibn...?

The questioner: Ibn Dawud.

The Shaykh: Okay, from whom did he narrate it?

The questioner: Sa'id ibn 'Ubayd Allah.

The Shaykh: Okay, before Sa'id was mentioned.

The questioner: No, it was not mentioned, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Nor...

The questioner: Yes, yes, excuse me, my Shaykh, yes, "from two other paths from Sa'id, similar to it."

The Shaykh: This is it, so here he has a third path.

The questioner: Yes, from the path, yes, yes, so this returns to what came before in the hadith, yes.

The Shaykh: Meaning, Sa'id now has three paths, two preceded him, and this is the third path.

The questioner : Yes, yes.
The student: Another path for this same hadith.
