Why does al-Bukhari use the phrase "he told us" or "he told me" in al-Tarikh al-Kabir and not say "he narrated to us," and why does he not use it in al-Sahih?
The Shaykh : The scholars of hadith have spoken about this, saying: He does this because he received it not in a session of hadith transmission. I think they mentioned something like this regarding the hadith of the musical instruments, the hadith in which it says: Hisham ibn 'Amr said.
The questioner : Musical instruments?
The Shaykh : Yes, so they say: Why did al-Bukhari not say "Hisham narrated to me"? Because he did not receive it from him in a session of hadith transmission, but rather in one of the sessions that are usually held among us, such as for study or discussion. To distinguish between what he received from his shaykh in a session of hadith transmission, this is, of course, an indication thatThe Shaykh : the narrator was prepared for transmission. Whereas now we ask and we answer, but when we want to deliver a lesson and the topic is fixed in our mind, we must review some of the sources. So the narrator in this case is more established in his narration than if he narrated during his study. For this reason, al-Bukhari says in some hadiths in al-Sahih and in many hadiths outside al-Sahih: "So-and-so told us," and does not say "he narrated to us," because he did not receive it from him in a session of hadith transmission where the narrator sits solely for transmission and is prepared and has reviewed the material he wants to narrate. This is what they said, and what I know, and Allah knows best. Yes.
