Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... He says: What is the basis for their statement about the narrator: “There is disagreement regarding his hadith”?
The Shaykh : Do you mean, what is the meaning of this sentence?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The intended meaning of the disagreement regarding the narrator is either in his chain of narration or in the text. The most common intent is disagreement in the chain. This is an allusion to the well-known term “the fluctuating hadith” (al-hadith al-mudtarib). It is said that there was disagreement regarding it; meaning, the narrators fluctuated in their narration from him. The routes multiplied, but the narrators of these routes differed from that narrator either in the chain or in the text. It is rare for both the text and the chain to fluctuate simultaneously. So, there was disagreement from them; meaning, the narrators fluctuated in narrating the hadith from him, either in the chain or in the text. This is the intended meaning.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
