Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Professor Ahmad asks a question, saying: Ibn al-Salah mentioned under the types of hadith: hasan, sahih, and da'if. He said: "And the muttasil, the mursal, the mu'dal, and so on." He asks: Why did he lump all of these together, even though these are all characteristics, meaning none of them is a type? What is your opinion, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This is an objection that has no basis, meaning, if he said it that way, and someone said to him, just as he is saying about Ibn al-Salah, "This is a technical term!"
The questioner : His statement, our Shaykh, is even in the technical terminology!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Abu Mustafa’s statement says that...
The Shaykh : Who is Abu Mustafa?
The questioner : Abu Mustafa Murayri! About zakat al-fitr.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he says: "The Shaykh agreed." So I was going along without noticing which Shaykh he meant. Is it...The Shaykh : Is it Shaykh Nasser, or their Shaykh Abu Malik? They rely on the term "our Shaykh" for Abu Malik. Do you have anything with you?
The Shaykh : I don't have anything with me.
The questioner : You don't have anything.
The Shaykh : No.
