The questioner : We return to the rest of Imam Ahmad's words.
The Shaykh : What does Imam Ahmad mean by "story" in his statement? Does he mean a story that has no connection to the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or what?
The questioner : It is what the Hafiz transmitted in *Hadi al-Sari* in his discussion of defects, and I do not know the context of the speech right now; whether it is regarding what you asked about or something else.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : He is speaking about a story he experienced himself.
The Shaykh : Who is he?
The questioner : The statement of Imam Ahmad that the Hafiz Ibn Hajar transmitted.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It means something he experienced himself, not something he is reporting or transmitting.
The Shaykh : It means that narrator.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He is reporting about something that has a connection to him.
The questioner : Yes, or something he experienced himself, like "I saw so-and-so come, and so-and-so did such-and-such," not "so-and-so said such-and-such," so that the likelihood of error becomes greater with him. That is the point.
The Shaykh : So, it is not in the hadith, Professor.
The questioner : And Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, "If there is a story in the hadith, it indicates that its narrator has memorized it." And Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : In the hadith, in the hadith.

The Shaykh : Okay, complete the phrase if it is.

And Allah knows best."
Another questioner : The narrator now is the weak one, or the weak one is lower in status than the narrator of the common people regarding... So this is weak; it is not the one who witnessed the story. Did he transmit Imam Ahmad's statement in this place? Is this relied upon? It is not from him... He was not present for the story, but rather he is a narrator of it.
The Shaykh: I have no answer.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you.
