The questioner : Our brother 'Ali is asking you what your opinion is of Hisham ibn 'Ammar.
The Shaykh : Hisham ibn 'Ammar is one from whom hadiths are accepted and rejected.
The questioner : Yes, my teacher, may Allah reward you with good. My teacher, I mean, depending on whether it agrees with other evidence or contradicts it?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : As for making a general statement that he is weak because of his memorization or something similar, is that not correct?
The Shaykh : No, that is what I mean: that he is not cited as evidence due to his solitary narrations.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh.
