The reader: "It is also mentioned regarding Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: Sahih Muslim 3002a along with what the Qur'an has spoken of in the words of Allah the Exalted: [Yusuf 12:76], so in the manner we have mentioned, we will compile the reports you asked about from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). As for those reports that are from people who are considered accused by the people of hadith, or by the majority of them, we do not concern ourselves with tracing their hadiths, such as Abdullah ibn Masur Abu Ja'far al-Mada'ini, Amr ibn Khalid, Abd al-Qadus al-Shami, Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Musallab, Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim, Sulayman ibn Umar Abu Dawud al-Nakha'i, and their like who were accused of fabricating hadiths and inventing reports. Likewise, as for those whose hadith is predominantly denounced or erroneous, we also refrain from using their hadiths. The sign of a denounced hadith from a narrator is when his narration of a hadith is compared with the narration of others among the people of memorization and approval, and his narration contradicts theirs, or barely agrees with them. If the majority of his hadith is like that, his hadith is abandoned, not accepted, and not used.."
The Shaykh : This is a good sign. If you want to know that a man is not precise in hadith, compare what he narrates with the hadiths of the trustworthy ones. If it agrees with them, he is trustworthy; and if it contradicts them, he is not trustworthy. This is the meaning of the statement of the specialists in terminology: "An anomalous narration is one in which a narrator contradicts someone who is stronger than him" Yes.
Abu Ma'mar reported that a person lauded a ruler amongst the rulers and Miqdad began to throw dust upon him and he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded us that we should throw dust upon the faces of those who shower too much praise.
أمرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن ننزّل النّاس منازلهمbut over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.
وفوق كلّ ذي علمٍ عليمٌThe Shaykh : This is a good sign. If you want to know that a man is not precise in hadith, compare what he narrates with the hadiths of the trustworthy ones. If it agrees with them, he is trustworthy; and if it contradicts them, he is not trustworthy.
