Ibn Jurayj’s hearing of tafsir from Ata: Is it Ata ibn Abi Rabah or al-Khurasani?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah bless you as well, our Shaykh. I have a question about Ibn Jurayj’s hearing of tafsir from Ata. Is it Ata ibn Abi Rabah, or is it Ata ibn Abi Muslim al-Khurasani?
The Shaykh : Allah knows best.
The questioner : Because the Hafiz himself hesitated in his statement in al-Fath.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And his statements in other books, and his statements contradict each other.
The Shaykh : But we have a good opinion of al-Bukhari; does he narrate from Ata al-Khurasani?
The questioner : Yes, this is from that category, and we often have a good opinion, our Shaykh, regarding the an'anah of the one who conceals defects and other such matters.
The Shaykh : It is this, but scientifically, we cannot be certain until now.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Allah knows best.
The questioner : The Hafiz himself said, “This is from the difficult, tight spots, or from the places where the critic is at a loss for a sound answer.”
The Shaykh : As for our youth today, they would give you the answer right away.
The questioner : It is authentic, our Shaykh. Ignorance...
The Shaykh : Boldness in ignorance regarding knowledge is a strange thing.
Another questioner : May Allah preserve you. I am mentioning what I know. If you help me, may Allah bless you. The statement of the Hafiz Ibn Hajar regarding the athar of Ibn Abbas concerning the righteous men, and Da, and Ya'uq, and Nasr, he said, “They were righteous men,” and so on. Here, in al-Bukhari’s chain, there is Ata.
The Shaykh : That is it.
Another questioner : So the Hafiz Ibn Hajar argued that it is not al-Khurasani. Do you remember, Abu al-Hasan? The Hafiz mentioned in this context that it is not al-Khurasani, and he provided indications to that effect.
The questioner : Yes, he has an extensive statement on this. Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Allah knows best.
The questioner : Because the Hafiz himself hesitated in his statement in al-Fath.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And his statements in other books, and his statements contradict each other.
