Question:
His statement in the hadith:Riyad as-Salihin 1016 ... is it authentic?
Answer:
I do not know of any defect in it now. I reviewed it long ago and do not recall any defect in it. There is no harm in it. What did the commentator say about it? Did the commentator speak about it?
The student: Al-Tirmidhi graded it as good. It is from the narration of 'Abbas al-Jashmi, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). Al-Mundhiri said: "Al-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah also narrated it." End of quote. Al-Hakim and Ibn Hibban also narrated it and graded it as authentic. Al-Bukhari criticized it in *al-Tarikh al-Kabir* due to the unknown hearing of al-Jashmi from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), but Ibn Hibban mentioned him in *al-Thiqat*, and there is a corroborating narration from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) in al-Tabarani's *al-Kabir* with a sound chain.
The Shaykh: ... where the original rule with contemporaneity ... the original rule with contemporaneity is meeting and hearing. This is the original rule. For this reason, Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) and a group of others proceeded on this basis, that if a Tabi'i was a contemporary of a Companion and narrated from him, and he is not known for tadlis (concealment of a defect in a chain), it is attributed to hearing, unless he is known for tadlis.
