القول المبين في بيان حال رواة التقريب الذين اكتفي الحافظ فيهم بنقل توثيق النسائي أو ابن معين : جمع و دراسة

Abstract EN

Since the two Imams Ibn Ma‘in and al-Nasa’i were known to be strict in their documentation, their classification of a narrator as Thiqah (trustworthy) had a considerable scholarly value.

despite this fact, some of the narrators of al-taqreeb who were approved by scholars as trustworthy were, according to my findings, designated by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar as “trusted by Ibn Ma‘in or al-Nasa’I” as opposed to his usual “trustworthy” designation.

Accordingly, my objective is to collectively identify these narrators and study them extensively against the literature of al-Jarh Wa al-T‘adil (impugning of narrators), and also to present their narrations and comment on them when needed in a similar fashion to what al-Hafiz did in al-Taqreeb so as to reach a conclusion.

in doing so, i listed twelve narrators whom al-Hafiz classified in al-taqreeb as “trusted by Ibn Ma‘in ” and nineteen other narrators whom al-Hafiz designated as “trusted by al-Nasa’i” i further added information of relevance to al-Jarh Wa al-T‘adil that does not feature in Tahdhib al-Tahdhib, explaining the reason why a particular narrator was not classified by al-Hafiz as Thiqah.
