The Shaykh : That was when we were staying up late at... the fish...
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, this al-Hajjaj, al-Hajjaj ibn Artah, is a practitioner of concealment (tadlis), but Muhammad ibn Rashid is paired with him.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I have something in my mind about Muhammad ibn Rashid, but I do not remember it well. There is a discussion regarding Ibrahim ibn Dhabyah.
The questioner : The first thing I looked at, my Shaykh said, "Regarding al-Hajjaj here, my Shaykh said that his being paired with another, or narrating from another, means it is elevated."
The Shaykh : If it were.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It would mean that it is used as corroboration.
The questioner : It is corroborated by the one with him.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
