The questioner : Regarding the issue of Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaj and his narration from...
The Shaykh : Yes.
Al-Halabi : It is well known that many scholars have spoken about this in some biographies. For example, Malik does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. Badr does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. All the sheikhs of Harith ibn Uthman are trustworthy, and so on.
The Shaykh : And the mursal reports of Sa'id.
The questioner : No, but my intention is regarding the sheikhs and trustworthiness.The Shaykh : Bakr Abu Zayd, my Shaykh...
The Shaykh : The same mursal reports fall under this category.
The questioner : I understood my teacher, but my specific intention is that so-and-so does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. The general issue is that the mursal reports of Sa'id—your intention is correct.
The Shaykh : I understand, but regarding the mursal reports of Sa'id, for those who say they are authentic, what is their perspective?
The questioner : Their perspective is that he does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : This is correct. We need to teach it to him. I think he did not notice it. So he collected thirty-two narrators, and it was said of them that they do not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. That is, he said to me that they are all disconnected.
The Shaykh : Do you mean those who narrate or do not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : They are disconnected.
The questioner : Yes, they are all disconnected. There is not a single one who is reliable. It is established that they all narrated from weak narrators.
The Shaykh : And Shu'bah himself, whom you are mentioning.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It was said to him, "How do you narrate from so-and-so?" He said, "I distinguish his authentic from his weak."
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
Al-Halabi : It is well known that many scholars have spoken about this in some biographies. For example, Malik does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. Badr does not narrate except from a trustworthy narrator. All the sheikhs of Harith ibn Uthman are trustworthy, and so on.
