Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the words of Imam Muslim, it appears as if he is requiring al-Bukhari to stipulate hearing in every hadith, but he does not stipulate this. He stipulates that the narrator...?
The Shaykh : He requires him to hold that if a narrator uses the term "an'anah" (he heard from), it is not valid with him due to the possibility that there is an intermediary between them, but this is not a requirement.
The questioner : Is this what al-Bukhari commits to?
The Shaykh : No, it is not required of him, and even we see that it is not required of him.
