Can al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi’s statement regarding al-Mustadrak (which he has summarized, and which lacks work and refinement) be used as evidence for the notation of a khah and a mīm, or a khah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This question concerns a statement I came across by al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi in the biography of al-Hakim in *Siyar A'lam al-Nubala*, where he spoke about al-Mustadrak and the hadiths contained in it, and he divided them into categories. At the end, he said, "And I have prepared a summary for it, and it lacks work and refinement." Is it possible to use this statement as evidence that al-Dhahabi’s silence, or merely a khah and a mīm, or a khah and a mīm, is not an approval, but only a summary that requires work? Or how should al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi’s statement in the biography of al-Hakim be understood?

The Shaykh : The third option you mentioned can be clarified.

The questioner : That is, in the section where it was clarified.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.

The questioner : What Allah willed.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : We ask Allah to bless you and preserve you.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.

The questioner: Our Shaykh.
