Question:
The *'an'anah* of a *mudallis*, if he had met the narrator and was trustworthy?
Answer:
That is of no benefit. If he was not a contemporary, it is not taken as a report of hearing. This is unlike a contemporary who was in his time, in his village, or in his city, or something similar. As for one who was not his contemporary, but was born after him, that is a broken chain.
