Is Ibn Hibban’s authentication of unknown narrators like the authentication of others, and his criticism?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the issue of Ibn Hibban’s authentication, which my professor mentioned a moment ago, is the discussion the same for the case of Ibn Hibban authenticating an unknown narrator and the case of one whom he authenticated or criticized, meaning one in whom no criticism or vindication was known, and Ibn Hibban authenticated him? Is this what the discussion concerns?

The Shaykh : That is what is intended.
Al-Halabi : I mean, that is what is intended, right?

The Shaykh : Yes, of course. If there is criticism from others and he authenticated him, even in the manner we explained earlier, then the rule that criticism takes precedence over vindication applies, provided its conditions are met, and this is what is investigated.
Al-Halabi : May Allah reward you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
