What is the ruling on a student who is a constant companion and narrates frequently from his shaykh who is a tadlis narrator, if his shaykh uses the 'an 'an formula?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Excuse me, Shaykh, and forgive us for troubling you.
The Shaykh : The Shaykh : You are not troubling me.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. We ask Allah to bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : What is the ruling on a student who is a constant companion and narrates frequently from his shaykh who is a tadlis narrator, if his shaykh uses the 'an 'an formula?
The Shaykh : There is no difference, except if he has a specific phrase, as is said regarding Shu'bah, for example, concerning the three. That is a different matter. But merely being associated with this characteristic is not sufficient.
The questioner : Al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi’s statement in the biography of al-A'mash in Mizan al-I'tidal, that he means one should pause regarding his 'an 'an formula, except with shaykhs from whom he narrated frequently.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Except with shaykhs.
The Shaykh : From whom he narrated frequently.
The questioner : He narrated frequently from them. My question now is the reverse of the issue: if the student is the tadlis narrator and he narrates from shaykhs whom he constantly accompanied and from whom he narrated frequently.
The Shaykh : The reverse, meaning.
The questioner : The reverse of the question.
The Shaykh : Meaning, al-A'mash narrates from his famous shaykhs.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He narrates frequently from them.
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he uses the 'an 'an formula from them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi says one should pause regarding his 'an 'an formula, except with shaykhs from whom he narrated frequently, such as Abu al-Salih al-Samman, and who, our brothers, did he mention? He mentioned a group, and Abu Ishaq. He mentioned three. This is found in Mizan al-I'tidal in the biography of al-A'mash.
The Shaykh : We have passed through such a phrase.
The questioner : You are in al-Sahihah.
The Shaykh : Yes, my opinion regarding al-A'mash and his like, which I have mentioned on another occasion, is that I accept his 'an 'an formula, except in cases of tightness.
The questioner : His 'an 'an formula is returned to him.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : The Shaykh : You are not troubling me.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. We ask Allah to bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
