The Book of Faith-01b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And al-Fadl ibn Sahl narrated to me, saying: I asked Ma'la al-Razi about Muhammad ibn Sa'id, from whom 'Abbad narrated, and he informed me about 'Isa ibn Yunus, saying: "I was at his door and Sufyan was with him, so when he left, I asked him about him, and he informed me that he is a liar".
The Shaykh : It is possible for a person to be upright in his religion, but his narration is not considered valid, because he narrates from those who are not trustworthy. So this man from whom 'Abbad narrated was asked about, and Sufyan said: He is a liar. So this 'Abbad does not exercise caution in narration, even if he is righteous in his religion, in terms of worship, asceticism, and the like. Worship is one thing, caution is another, and memorization is another, and each has its ruling. Yes.
