If only two students narrate from a Shaykh, both of whom are suitable for corroboration and supporting chains but are not relied upon as independent authorities, does this remove the specific obscurity of his identity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh, if the narrator is unique in his narration, meaning only two narrators came from him.The Shaykh : Only two students narrated from him, and each of them is suitable for corroboration and supporting chains but is not relied upon as an independent authority, meaning neither is relied upon in his isolation?

The Shaykh : They are equivalent to a trustworthy narrator.

The questioner : They are equivalent to a trustworthy narrator.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : What Allah wills, and he would still be a person of unknown specific identity.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : Because when I found that the Hafiz’s practice was to remove the specific obscurity of identity through this matter.

The Shaykh : As long as neither is relied upon, but if one is combined with the other, they strengthen each other’s status, so they are equivalent to one trustworthy narrator.

The questioner : I wanted to take from the Hafiz’s practice and ask you, so I knew you would distinguish and say this is the Hafiz’s statement, but the phrasing of the question in my mind was: why did you remove the specific obscurity of identity for the narration of two weak narrators, but not for the narration of a trustworthy narrator, when the first, by its total meaning, through the two paths, is good for corroboration, and the second is authentic? So I thought you would ask me and say, “And how do you know that I would remove it?” So I changed the phrasing of the question.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : An important question related to.
