Can you establish a rule that every *mudallis* who frequently narrates from his shaykhs has his hadiths treated like al-Thawri’s from Abu Ishaq and Ibn Jurayj’s from Ata?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You also treated al-Thawri’s narration from Abu Ishaq from his shaykh in the same way, even though he is also a frequent narrator. You mentioned the reason in *Sahih* as being that he is a frequent narrator!
The Shaykh : There is the argument using Sufyan’s narration from Abu Ishaq, even if he had used *'an* (from).
The questioner : With the use of *'an*, and you mentioned that it is because he is a frequent narrator. This is found in *Sahih*, part four, page 277. This is what led me to combine your words with the words of al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi, and I thought it could be a rule for anyone described as a frequent narrator.
The Shaykh : There is no rule in that, but perhaps each hadith or narration requires a specific study. Perhaps you can remind me of it.
The questioner: May Allah will it.
The Shaykh: May Allah will it.
The questioner : And similar to that is the issue of Ibn Jurayj from Ata, when you treated Ibn Jurayj from Ata the same way, whether he said "he said" or "from."
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : So I also said, no, Ibn Jurayj is a frequent narrator from Ata and a constant companion of his, and the words ofThe Shaykh : al-Thawri.
The Shaykh : And this reason is obligatory regarding it, no, Ibn Jurayj from Ata, you know this, yes.
The questioner : In his explicit statement.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, that is right.
The questioner : Your explicit statement that if it is said, if I say "he said," then I have heard it, and "from" and "he said" have a great difference between them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, he answeredThe Shaykh : that it is not a confused rule, but perhaps each hadith is independent; we do not make it a confused rule. The wordsThe Shaykh : regarding al-A'mash, my shaykh, also said, "I will treat it this way if I do not find what compels me to return to *'an*." May Allah will it, my shaykh, meaning it is well known that the word...
