Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... "Sahih al-Bukhari" ... I found that he said ... one may commit a sin, so I found that he said there, regarding trustworthy narrators, that there is a consideration; how is this ...?
The Shaykh : The intent of the question lacks precision. Your statement: "He said about some of the trustworthy narrators: there is a consideration."
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What am I saying? What am I saying now? I am repeating your words, and you are repeating your words. If there is an error in my repeating your words, correct it; otherwise, if it is correct, there is no room for objection. You are saying that Imam al-Bukhari says about some of the trustworthy narrators: "there is a consideration."
The questioner : If it is ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What does this mean? Is this different from the first statement? I am asking you: is this statement of yours different from the first one?
The questioner : Perhaps, Shaykh, it means ... .
The Shaykh : Fine; which of the two statements are we discussing with you now?
The questioner : The latter.
The Shaykh : The latter, fine; you are saying: that Imam al-Bukhari says about some of the accepted narrators: "there is a consideration in their hadith"; is that what you are saying?!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The question now is in the way of clarifying your question; are these accepted narrators accepted by him or by others?
The questioner : He has it.
The Shaykh : By him or by others? - Excuse me - I made a mistake, is it to be accepted by him?
The questioner : By the hadith scholars.
The Shaykh : Or by others?
The questioner : By others.
The Shaykh : What is the problem with this? Are there not dozens of biographical entries where one scholar says of someone that he is trustworthy, and another says of him: weak?! Does not something like this exist? Is there a problem with this?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And what is the problem in it then?
The questioner : I mean, many scholars use the phrase that it is not a correction, is this a phrase al-Bukhari uses?
The Shaykh : Does "there is a consideration" mean accepted?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Then there is no problem.
Yes.
