What is the ruling on the hadith of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) in which he said: (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to his Companions and recited to them Surat al-Rahman from its beginning to

Mashhur: Shaykh, returning to the beginning of the hadith that contains the tadlis of al-Walid, another route has emerged that contains weakness. Does this route, which has slight weakness, serve as a corroborating narration?

The Shaykh : I said that if its weakness is not severe, if its weakness is not severe, it is considered a corroborating narration for that route with the concealed defect.
Al-Halabi : Shaykh, it seems to me that the brother Mashhur has something behind the question: is it possible that this weak narrator is the one whom al-Walid concealed?

The Shaykh : No, no, this is as we said in many writings: it should not be in the same tier, meaning ... he mentions another complete chain, another chain. But if it is the same al-Walid, what is the problem with al-Walid between him and al-Awza'i? Yusuf ibn what?
The student : Safar, Yusuf ibn al-Safar.

The Shaykh : Yes, so if we suppose that a weak man came in place of Yusuf in the same tier, it would not strengthen al-Walid's tadlis, because it is possible that instead of Yusuf ibn al-Safar, this is the weak one whom he omitted. But if the weakness in the chain comes from above or from below, such that the soul is reassured that al-Walid has no connection to this omission of the weak narrator in his chain, but rather it is someone else.
