Does al-A'mash's narration via al-'an'anah in works other than the two Sahihs imply continuity or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does al-A'mash's narration via al-'an'anah in works other than the two Sahihs imply continuity or not?
The Shaykh : There is no rule that states it is always accepted or always rejected. Every narration in which al-A'mash uses al-'an'anah requires a specific study. Based on what becomes clear to the researcher, he may accept al-A'mash's al-'an'anah in one narration and not in another, depending on the indications and evidence that call for it. So the matter is not, as many people imagine, a set of rigid rules that do not accept change or modification, even in one hadith or in some hadiths. Likewise, it is not said, for example, that the narration of a non-al-A'mash mudallis is always rejected. A specific study is required for every narration outside the two Sahihs if it is of this type.
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the hadith "Both his hands are right" and the other hadith...
The Shaykh : We have answered this before; it is a question that has been repeated many times.
The questioner : ....
The Shaykh : So now, if we want to reverse the order and start from the back, that is fine, but we will not allow it. Listen for a moment, my brother. We need to hear a question: Are you the one who asked the question? Please, let us hear your question.
