regarding the statements on al-jarh wa al-ta'dil by Ibn Sa'd and whether he is lenient in hadith?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : Answer to the question of Shaykh Abu al-Hasan: Ibn Sa'd's leniency is considered in the discussion of narrators where Ibn Hajar mentioned it in the section on preferring one opinion over another in the biography of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Shurayh. When there was a disagreement between the statements on al-jarh wa al-ta'dil, and Ibn Sa'd's statement came up, he preferred it here, saying, "Ibn Sa'd means he is lenient because most of his material is from al-Waqidi." Does this mean it is strong, given that it was mentioned here specifically regarding the cause?
The Shaykh : I did not understand what you said.
The questioner : I mean, Ibn Hajar's statement came in the context of preferring one opinion over another in al-jarh wa al-ta'dil, stating that Ibn Sa'd is lenient to the extent that most of his material is from al-Waqidi!
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Yes, specifically...
The questioner : He restricted his statement to that chapter, so it does not apply to every part of the narration, but to some types of narration.
Another questioner: Yes.
The questioner : As for the chapter of al-jarh wa al-ta'dil, it is from...
The student : It is difficult as a principle to say that Ibn Sa'd's material is from al-Waqidi! I say it is difficult to say this here.
The questioner : Meaning that it is a copy of his or that he imitated him.
The student : Al-Waqidi himself, our Shaykh, is not known for al-jarh wa al-ta'dil among the scholars.
The Shaykh : Yes, except for a few words.
The student : Very, very few, I mean.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : Whereas Ibn Sa'd, glory be to Allah, has many detailed notes.
Another student: And especially, Shaykh, Ibn Sa'd pays great attention to mentioning whether a narrator has little or much hadith, and this has its importance in knowing the narrator's condition...
The student : In a gathering in Hayy Nizal about two months ago, regarding the topic of takfir and faith and these issues, it was a good session with Shaykh 'Adil, yes...
The Shaykh : What happened was, how should I put it, he would preempt the question with a lecture!!
The student : Hehe, he says this.
The Shaykh : Is that it?
The student : Yes, yes, Shaykh, he is now saying, before you say it: he says the Shaykh who gives a lecture, hehe.
The Shaykh : Is that it!
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, is the issue of the lecture with the question always prohibited, or sometimes some questions need some detail?
The Shaykh : There is nothing that is constant, Professor.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Just as the answer should sometimes be concise and sometimes lengthy!
The questioner : So it may and may...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is necessary for this.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : Yes, and for this there is a direction, and for this there is a direction, and it is thought that they are...
The student : O our brothers, be silent, may Allah reward you with good.
