What is al-Bukhari’s school of thought regarding the validity of a hadith? Does he require meeting, or contemporaneity, or both meeting and hearing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I said, my Shaykh, regarding establishing the meeting, after your statement that he met him, it is in establishing the authentication. I meant you, but it was...
The Shaykh : Establishing what?
The questioner : I said, regarding establishing the meeting.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I said that al-Bukhari does not establish the validity of this hadith by contemporaneity, and I said after that, regarding establishing the meeting. Did you mean establishing the authentication, or authenticating the hadith? Yes.
The Shaykh : But all roads lead to the mill, may Allah reward you.
The questioner : Contemporaneity!
The Shaykh : No, no, contemporaneity necessitates meeting if the contemporary narrates from the one he was contemporary with; it necessitates meeting.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So there is no confusion in this statement.
The questioner : No, my Shaykh, you said: that al-Bukhari does not establish the validity of this hadith by contemporaneity, and you said here that a meeting took place. Ah, no, I said al-Bukhari, I said al-Bukhari did not authenticate here. Did you mean to say he did not authenticate this hadith by contemporaneity? I said by meeting. I did not intend to tell the Shaykh that your statement is the correct one. I intended that if the sentence were as follows...
The Shaykh : We will review the phrase; if there is an error, we will correct it in its place.
The questioner : My Shaykh, just bear with me for a moment, will I not return?
The Shaykh : The important thing is that I am not mistaken!
The questioner : Hehe, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : And this is important for us, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : And this is important for us, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Establishing what?
The questioner : I said, regarding establishing the meeting.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I said that al-Bukhari does not establish the validity of this hadith by contemporaneity, and I said after that, regarding establishing the meeting. Did you mean establishing the authentication, or authenticating the hadith? Yes.
The Shaykh : But all roads lead to the mill, may Allah reward you.
The questioner : Contemporaneity!
The Shaykh : No, no, contemporaneity necessitates meeting if the contemporary narrates from the one he was contemporary with; it necessitates meeting.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So there is no confusion in this statement.
