Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, if you would allow me. He mentioned in the lesson that every hadith with a hidden defect is rejected, but not every rejected hadith has a hidden defect. I wanted to ask him about it, but I was unable to. May you benefit us with an answer?
The Shaykh : If there is a weak narrator in the chain, it is not called in technical terminology a hadith with a hidden defect, because its defect is apparent.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So this chain is rejected because of this weakness from this narrator.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So the hadith is rejected.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : But it is not called a hadith with a hidden defect.
The questioner : No, because the defect is apparent.
The Shaykh : And the reverse is the reverse. That is, if for example there is a break between one narrator and another.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And this break is not apparent at first glance.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Then this is a hadith with a hidden defect.
The questioner : Yes, it is said that every hadith with a hidden defect is rejected.
The Shaykh : Is it rejected? Is not a broken hadith rejected?
The questioner : Yes, because of the weakness.
The Shaykh : Because of the break, yes, but it is a hadith with a hidden defect.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Every hadith with a hidden defect is rejected, but not every rejected hadith has a hidden defect.
The questioner : Okay, in this case, the defect is hidden. Does the hidden defect make it rejected?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: No.
