What is the source of the philosophy of distinguishing between ahad reports and mutawatir reports in establishing creed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Where did they get this philosophy regarding the issue of establishment and ahad hadiths?

The Shaykh : From their opinions.

The questioner : No early scholars said this.

The Shaykh : No, absolutely not. The philosophy of distinguishing between ahad hadiths and mutawatir hadiths is attributed to Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him), but this is not correct regarding him.
