Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the difference between the meanings of the formulas hadathana, akhabarana, anba'ana, sami'tu, and 'an? Then what is the meaning of wujadah and bulaghat? And after that, what is the meaning of the presumption of original permissibility?
The Shaykh : Well, if Allah wills, you want a lecture so that we can answer these questions for you, but briefly we say that the difference between hadathana and akhabarana is that akhbar is broader than hadath. One who heard the hadith directly from the Shaykh says hadathana. But if the Shaykh did not narrate it to him orally, but rather wrote it to him, then here one says, in the interest of precision in expression, akhabarana so-and-so, meaning even if it was in writing. So the word akhabarana is broader and hadathana is more specific. Thus, hadath is more specific and akhbar is broader. I said, yes, sami'tu. Sami'tu is an affirmation that the one who was in the session where the Shaykh was narrating heard it from the Shaykh, from his mouth to his ear. The point is that such expressions either involve a relationship of generality and specificity, or they serve to clarify the status of the narrator. And as you mentioned after hadathana, anba'ana. Inba' is also a more specific meaning, which is akhbar by any means, whether by hearing, by writing, or by wujadah.
