Some scholars illustrate the invalidating defect with the following example: that a hadith is narrated with a disconnected chain of narration, even though it was transmitted as a mursal (a report missing the Companion link), and those who narrated it as mursal are more trustworthy.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, we find that some scholars illustrate the invalidating defect with the following example: that a hadith is narrated with a disconnected chain of narration, even though it was transmitted as a mursal, and those who narrated it as mursal are more trustworthy; is this statement accepted, or do we reject it based on the rule: "The one who memorizes is a proof against the one who did not memorize"?

The Shaykh : No, it is accepted.

The questioner : It is accepted.
Fine.
