The Ruling on Verifying the Report of a Trustworthy Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some preachers accuse another preacher,If he is asked about it, he says: A man known for his knowledge and integrity told me.

If you say: Verify.

He said: Verification is required when the transmitter is an open sinner.
So what is your opinion of this?
This is correct; his statement is correct on the surface; if a trustworthy man informs you, there is no need to verify;Because Allah said:
O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigateيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا
[Al-Hujurat: 6] But a person may be trustworthy yet have a bias, which weakens trust from this perspective.
