A discussion regarding the chain of narration of hadith number (1) in "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The basis for us is a hadith in "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah," number .
The Shaykh : Number.
The questioner : Yes, the one you want to print now. I said, "O Shaykh, in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), a man came to him and said, 'I love you for the sake of Allah.' He said to him, 'I hate you.' He said, 'Why?' He said, 'Because you make mistakes in the adhan.' I said, 'O Shaykh,' in the introduction: 'And it is authentic.' So I do not know; I am the one who found it in Yahya ibn Muslim al-Bakka'?"
The Shaykh : What did you find?
The questioner : I mean, where did you find it, O Shaykh? I said, "Authentic," without a reference, I think. I found this report in its chain with Yahya ibn Muslim al-Bakka', and you weakened it, of course. Is it weak?
The Shaykh : But this Yahya al-Bakka' requires you to look at the narrator who narrated from him; the ruling on a man may sometimes differ depending on the narrator who narrated from him. I am far from this now, but since you say you returned to the chain, it is part of the review to look at who the narrator from this Yahya al-Bakka' is? Because, as I told you, sometimes the narrator is weak except through the narration of some narrators from him, in which case he is trustworthy and authentic, and there are many examples of this. For example, 'Abd Allah ibn Lahi'ah, who was a judge in Egypt; if he narrates a hadith, it is weak, but if al-'Abbadalah narrate from him—'Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak, 'Abd Allah ibn Wahb al-Misri, 'Abd Allah ibn Yazid al-Muqri—and also non-al-'Abbadalah, Qutaybah ibn Sa'id al-Misri—if any of these narrate from 'Abd Allah ibn Lahi'ah, his hadith is authentic. Likewise, for example, = -- And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings -- = a man among the men of al-Bukhari named 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib; he is trustworthy in himself, but he became confused in the last part of his life = -- And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah -- = the hadith scholars say: So whoever narrated from him before his confusion, his hadith is authentic. It is known that some of the memorizing narrators narrated from him before the confusion; among them, for example, are Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaj and Sufyan ibn al-Muthanna al-Thawri. So this al-Bakka' seems to me to be of this type, and I think this report is attributed to Abu Dawud. Do you remember?
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, in the same report I said, meaning: this is what al-Bakka' mentioned, that al-Hafiz said about him: "Weak," and al-Nasa'i said about him: "Abandoned," and Ibn Hazm narrated in the issue, and al-Tabarani in "Al-Mujam" , and "Al-Mizan" ... is this it?
The Shaykh : Is this my statement?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Ah, you mean, your takhrij?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : In any case, call me on the phone if you wish after 'Isha', and I will review it, if Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good.
