Question:
If the scholars have spoken about the narrator's religious integrity, but have not spoken about his memory or precision?
Answer:
This pertains to 'adalah (integrity). 'Adalah (integrity) is one thing, and dhabt (precision) is another:
A man may be 'adil (intact) but not precise; he has poor memory.
And he may be very precise in terms of memory, but not 'adil (intact); he has open sinfulness, disobedience, or religious innovation.
