The questioner : Al-Mughirah's statement that what is narrated from 'Ali is not authentic except what is narrated from the companions of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud—is this a rule, O Shaykh, or is it the general case?
The Shaykh : It appears that this is according to his knowledge; perhaps it is authentic through other routes, but the companions of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud were meticulous in this matter. Yes.
