Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, in al-Fath, mentions frequently, and mentions frequently, regarding Shu'bah and Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan and others, that when they narrate from their sheikhs who practiced tadlis, they do not take except the authentic of their hadiths. Shu'bah specified three, and al-Hafiz generalized. Is this statement correct?
The Shaykh : Al-Hafiz's generalization?
The questioner : Yes, I am asking about this?
The Shaykh : Of course, we are now in the era of following the people of knowledge, so al-Hafiz's statement is either to be understood as you saw, that Shu'bah only narrated from three.
Another questioner : You have sufficed with the tadlis of three.
The Shaykh : Correct, so this generalization regarding the three, in what did Ibn Hajar contradict him, in your view?
The questioner : Regarding other sheikhs besides the three?
The Shaykh : Regarding other sheikhs besides the three. Yes, this is what I wanted to say. Do you agree with me? I believe that al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar conducted a thorough examination and investigation of the narrations of these memorizing narrators like Shu'bah and others. Do you agree with me that it is possible that he conducted an investigation and research with his effort and toil, and he does not rely only on these three, or is it not possible?
The questioner : Yes, you may.
The Shaykh : It is possible. In that case, we, like ourselves, cannot contradict him except with an explicit text, and I think this is not easy to find. It is clear.
The questioner : Yes, it is clear.
The Shaykh : Al-Hafiz's generalization?
