Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If it is known that the hadith scholar is not a concealer and that he is trustworthy, what is the benefit of the condition of meeting after contemporaneity, given that we know he is trustworthy and not a concealer?
The Shaykh : Because if we do not know that he met him, we know that the original state is that they did not meet. But if we know that he met him, the original state is that he heard it from him.
The questioner : But what is the benefit of the meeting if the hadith scholar is trustworthy and does not conceal?
The Shaykh : The benefit is the possibility that he heard it.
The questioner : Okay, he is trustworthy, so if he says about...
The Shaykh : But if we do not know that he met him, there is a possibility...
The questioner : A possibility of what? A possibility of concealment?
The Shaykh : Yes, a possibility of concealment.
The questioner : It is known that he is trustworthy and does not conceal.
The Shaykh : Yes, but since he did not meet him and he is a contemporary, there is a possibility. This is the hidden mursal that Ibn Hajar mentioned in "al-Nukhba". The hidden mursal is from a contemporary whom he did not meet; it is actually a hidden mursal. Yes.
