The Book of Faith-01b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Al-Fadl ibn Sahil narrated to me, saying: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, saying: Khalifah ibn Musa informed me, saying: "I entered upon Ghalib ibn 'Abd Allah, and he began dictating to me: 'Makhluk narrated to me.' He said: 'Makhluk narrated to me.' Then the urge to urinate overtook him, so he stood up. I looked at the notebook and found in it: 'Aban narrated to me from Anas, and Aban from so-and-so.' So I left him and stood up. He said: And I heard al-Hasan ibn 'Ali al-Hulwani say: I saw in the book of 'Affan a hadith of Hisham Abu al-Muqdam, a hadith of 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz. Hisham said: A man whose name is Yahya ibn so-and-so narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Ka'b. I said to 'Affan: They say that Hisham heard it from Muhammad ibn Ka'b. He said: He was only tested through this hadith. He used to say: 'Yahya narrated to me from Muhammad,' then he later claimed that he heard it from Muhammad.".
The Shaykh : This indicates to us the meticulousness of the transmitters of hadith in such matters. Otherwise, logically, it is permissible for one to say "so-and-so narrated to me from Muhammad" and then say "Muhammad narrated to me," where the first instance was before he met him, and then he met him and he narrated to him. However, logical possibilities do not apply in such matters. For this reason, the transmitters of hadith are meticulous in this regard and consider it a disturbance in his hadith. Yes.
