The questioner : In fact, you said during the answer that this hadith contains the defects of *mursal* and *munqati'* (disconnected), and these are among the specialities of hadith scholars, but the listener wants to know what these defects, the defects of *mursal* and *munqati'*, mean?
The Shaykh : The defect of *mursal* means that the hadith is from the *marfu'* (traced to the Prophet) reports of the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions).
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Or the Companions who did not hear from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : That is, if the chain of the hadith ends with a Tabi'i (a member of the generation after the Companions) and his Companion is not mentioned, they call this *mursal*.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is from the category of weak hadiths because the Tabi'i did not meet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the hadith is *munqati'* (disconnected). As for the one who attributed the defect to disconnection, it was narrated as *marfu'* from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) from the hadith of his son Abu 'Ubaydah, and it was said that he did not hear from him.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And some hadith scholars said that he did hear from him. This is the defect of disconnection. Yes, that is right. In any case, both *mursal* and *munqati'* are among the causes of a hadith's weakness.
The questioner : Yes, regarding enjoining good and forbidding evil, this message reached us from Rashid Ghanim al-'Abd al-Ghafar from Riyadh, al-Dirah.
