If some of the Companions narrate from some of the Successors, how is the mursal narration of a Companion accepted?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He saysThe questioner : Also, as long as, may the Shaykh be respected, it is established that some of the Companions narrated from some of the Successors, how is one to argue using the mursal narrations of the Companions?
The Shaykh : Who is this question for?
The questioner : It is for one of the young men from our group.
The Shaykh : Well, the matter is easy. Is this one of the young men objecting to the scholars of hadith? And is he from the smaller group or the larger group that our Lord mentioned in the Noble Qur'an[An-Nahl 16:43]? Is he from the people of remembrance, or is he from those who do not know?
The questioner : No, he is from those who know.
The Shaykh : He asks the people of remembrance. The people of remembrance tell him, yes, the mursal narrations of the Companions are a proof, whether he understood that or not, whether he was convinced or not, because it is not necessary that every question asked byThe questioner : an ignorant person be answered in a way that matches his ignorance. No, and in any case, the answer is well known among the scholars of hadith. It is correct that some of the Companions narrated from some of the Successors, but this is very rare. And the rare, as is established in Islamic jurisprudence, has no ruling, right?
The questioner : It has no ruling.
The Shaykh : It has no ruling. So we do not prevent ourselves from benefiting from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). For example, in the Battle of Badr, we would say he was young, so this is from the mursal narrations of the Companions, and it is possible that he took it from a Successor. With this possibility, we say, as Ibn 'Umar said in a matter other than this incident: "Make a 'perhaps' for that star." Because the original principle is that the Companions trusted one another more than one of them trusted those who came after them. Then, if we assume that a Companion narrated from a Successor, his narration from this Successor, even if we did not know it, or even if we assumed it to be from the mursal narrations of the Successors, because he narrated it from a Successor from the Messenger of Allah, this Companion, when he narrated the hadith from the Successor, was confident in him. This is not like the narration of a Successor from a Successor, and the like thereof, because Allah purified them...
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is in the crowd, yes.
The questioner : It is nine o'clock now.
The Shaykh : This is in the crowd.
The Shaykh : Who is this question for?
The questioner : It is for one of the young men from our group.
The Shaykh : Well, the matter is easy. Is this one of the young men objecting to the scholars of hadith? And is he from the smaller group or the larger group that our Lord mentioned in the Noble Qur'an
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
