Discussion of the report of a single narrator

The student: Be patient...
Shuqara: The point is that if a single report is not anomalous and has no defect among the defects, we say it conveys certainty. But if it is anomalous and has a defect... that is why Sulayman said to him: .
The student: Yes, it is a defect.
Shuqara: Yes.
The student: Yes, it is a defect.
Shuqara: No, he looked and found him truthful, so it conveyed certainty. Therefore, the reports of single narrators that the Ummah accepted convey certainty.

The Shaykh : ... .
Shuqara: He says, reports of single narrators that the Ummah accepted.

The Shaykh: ... a report of a single narrator does not convey certainty.
Al-Halabi: ... knowledge?

The Shaykh: ... knowledge and necessitates action, whereas...
Al-Halabi: Our Shaykh... if someone were to say, and although I did not hear the objection fully, perhaps this last point, is it not possible to object to that by saying that Sulayman’s belief is what made the hoopoe’s report certain?

The Shaykh: We said...
Al-Halabi: A Prophet’s report is now above that.

The Shaykh: It is from the beginning of what he said, even though it is a Prophet’s report, but then when it came...
Al-Halabi: By Allah, I just realized, our Shaykh, we are all reading from the same Shaykh.

The Shaykh: I do not say that this is negated, because the report does not convey certainty by its wording.
Al-Halabi: As evidenced by doubt, our Shaykh.
The student: He said, so he looked after them.
Another student: Yes, so it indicates that he did not accept it.

The Shaykh: If the report of a single narrator conveys certainty, and from... also, there is no need for him to say: ...
The student: We say that after looking, it conveys certainty, after looking, yes...
Shuqara: ... let us add a simple point, which may be that the report... to Sulayman (peace be upon him), no one understood it except Sulayman, yes, if it were certainty or above certainty, it would not convey anything at all, because only one person understood it...

The Shaykh: That is, a matter falling within a specific circle of supernatural events, and what is among supernatural events...

The questioner: Does it not come, our Shaykh, from the category of the legislation of those before us, our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner: It also does not come from the category of the legislation of those before us...

The Shaykh: This is a matter of the report, it is not said to be the legislation of those before us... whether it was before us or after that...
The student: From the rational perspective, as al-Ghazali and others do.
Al-Halabi: Do you mean from the same school?
The student: If it is from the rational perspective... they reject the reports of single narrators, so if we look from the rational perspective, if one looks at such a story, he will say how does the hoopoe know what the Prophet does not know, so how does the Prophet not know? Then matters arise that lead to a chain reaction to demolish what is established by the Qur'an, what was in the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). I say, their method of rational critique of the reports of single narrators and their rejection, if this story had come as a Prophetic hadith, they would have taken the stance of denial towards it as well, if it had come as a report of a single narrator, they would have taken the stance of denial and would not have believed in it, but praise be to Allah, it came in the Qur'an...

The Shaykh: No, but what is its relation to the topic of the report of a single narrator?
Shuqara: ...

The Shaykh: Take it out of your dictionary, take it out of your dictionary, no problem...
The student: ... but after verification, okay, after verification of the report of a single narrator, did he tell the truth or were you among the liars, and after the establishment of his report, it conveys certainty, and the Ummah, for example, accepted it...

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you...
Shuqara: ... Allah (Mighty and Majestic), why did He present this Qur'anic story to us? Do you know why? To teach us that the Prophets do not know the unseen... if Allah reveals to them, if Allah reveals to His Prophet a report.
Another student: He knows.
Shuqara: He knows it, but if He does not guide him to it, he does not know it. So here the story revolves around this, and therefore this enters, as our Shaykh mentioned, this entire story enters only into the category of a prophetic miracle.
