The condition of meeting in al-Bukhari, it is for the authentic, as for the good, it is not.

The Shaykh : The thought yesterday was about the topic, yes, I think I am repeating today, by the way, regarding the disagreement amongThe Shaykh : them in whether contemporaneity is sufficient or the condition of meeting is necessary. Here, what reminded me of the issue of Abu Hatim's terminology that he does not rely on it, and this is a convergence of ideas, glory be to Allah, it became clear to me that the condition al-Bukhari set is the condition for the authentic, not the condition for the good. This is clear.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Meeting is required in the authentic hadith, but in the good hadith, meeting is not required, because some hadiths passed through him, and Imam al-Tirmidhi narrated from his Imam al-Bukhari that he graded its chain as good, and the condition of meeting in it is negated.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : What Allah willed.
The Shaykh : And I mentioned this in some of my responses to this... good, I mean... perhaps you heard it from me.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : This is it, so I wanted to remind you of this, perhaps it will pass by you, so we realize the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:35].
The questioner : By Allah, this is a truth that deserves tracking and control.
The Shaykh : Indeed.
The questioner : Tracking the men from al-Bukhari's great history and knowing the connection and hearing.
The Shaykh : By Allah, yes.
The questioner : The picture becomes clear, I mean.
The Shaykh : Please.
The questioner : Regarding the last question, which was about Abu Hatim al-Razi and his saying, for example, "I write his hadith but I do not rely on it," you mentioned that this does not equal weak, but it is possible that it is at the level of good.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This is because Abu Hatim was strict in certifying, I mean, regarding the one who looks, I mean, regarding the one who looks in Abu Hatim's book. As for Abu Hatim, when this man says "I do not rely on it," does he mean that it is weak, or does he mean that he relies on it in any of the ways of reliance, whether in the good that you spoke about.
The Shaykh : It does not mean absolutely weak.
The questioner : It does not mean absolutely.
The questioner : Yes, and you know well, if Allah wills, that he uses both expressions, he uses the two expressions.
The questioner : In some places, he writes "I write his hadith," this is the intended meaning.
The Shaykh : No, in some expressions, "I do not rely on it," and in some expressions, "weak."
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And we must note that this one who uses the two expressions has an intention in the difference between the two matters, and this is what appeared to me, and Allah knows best, with other observations, of course, I mentioned some of them earlier, that his saying "I do not rely on it" does not equal his saying "weak."
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The questioner : And may He bless you.
The questioner : Yes.

We will strengthen your arm through your brother
