The questioner : Excuse me, my shaykh, regarding my shaykh, the question we asked yesterday about the phrase "the path." Here, something is confusing me. You say, my shaykh, in the tracing of the hadith: "And al-Bazzar narrated it in its entirety, similar to it, through the path of 'Abdullah ibn Dawud". When I went back, my shaykh, to al-Bazzar, which is in front of me, the hadith in which he traced this 'Abdullah ibn Dawud, the shaykh of al-Bazzar's shaykh, what is the reason for mentioning the shaykh of al-Bazzar's shaykh and not mentioning al-Bazzar's shaykh?
The Shaykh : What is the reason? What is it?
The questioner : That when you said "through the path," you did not mention it as being through the path of al-Bazzar's shaykh, because the hadith is present in al-Bazzar's Musnad.
The Shaykh : Because it appears from here that the path begins to differ from the previous paths.
The questioner : Yes, so, our shaykh, please clarify for us. I mean, this phrase "the path" here, what does it refer to? Please clarify, meaning, your words, my shaykh.
The Shaykh : Here I said, for every occasion there is a statement. Now, what is his name? This 'Abdullah ibn...
The questioner : ...ibn Dawud.
The Shaykh : Okay, from whom did he narrate it?
The questioner : Sa'id ibn 'Ubayd Allah.
The Shaykh : Okay, before Sa'id was mentioned...
The questioner : No, he did not mention it, my shaykh.
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : Yes, yes, excuse me, my shaykh, yes. "From two other paths from Sa'id, with it, similar to it".
The Shaykh : This is it. So here, he has a third path.
The questioner : Yes, from the path. Yes, yes. So this goes back to what came before in the hadith. Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean, Sa'id now has three paths: two that preceded him, and this third path.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The student: Another path for this same hadith.
The Shaykh : What is the reason? What is it?
The questioner : That when you said "through the path," you did not mention it as being through the path of al-Bazzar's shaykh, because the hadith is present in al-Bazzar's Musnad.
The Shaykh : Because it appears from here that the path begins to differ from the previous paths.
