The Imaam of Hadeeth, the Shaykh
- Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee
(rahima-hullaah) said:
“And
the saying of some of the muhaddithoon (scholars of hadeeth)
regarding some hadeeth:
((Its
rijaal (male narrators) are those of the narrators of the
Saheeh
(al-Bukhaaree))), or:
((It’s
rijaal are thiqaat)), or that which is similar, then these
statements do not equate to the term:
((It’s
isnaad (chain of narration) is saheeh))
...since
this (statement) assumes the presence of all the conditions
of authenticity (of a hadeeth)
from which include: free of any defect, which is different
from the first statement.
Certainly,
this does not affirm it (the authenticity of the hadeeth),
rather, it affirms just one condition and that is the uprightness
of the rijaal. And with this, the authenticity (of the hadeeth)
is not affirmed, as is not hidden (from the people of hadeeth).”
