Clarification That The Chain Of Narration Is Part Of The Religion, And Reports Should Only Be Narrated From Those Who Are Trustworthy, And That Critical Assessment And Evaluation of Narrators For Things That Are True Is Permissible And Is In Fact Obligatory; And That Doing So Is Not Backbiting That Is Forbidden, Rather It Is Defending The Honorable Shari'ah

English translation

[41] It was narrated that Khalîfah bin Mûsâ said: "I entered upon Ghâlib bin 'Ubaidullâh and he started to dictate to me: 'Makhûl narrated to me,' 'Makhûl narrated to me.' Then he needed to urinate, so he got up, and I looked at his notebook and in it (was written): 'Abân narrated to me from Anas,' 'Abân narrated from so-and-so.' So I got up and left." He (Muslim) said: And I heard Al-Hasan bin 'Alî Al-Ḥulwânî say: "I saw in the book of 'Affân a Hadîth of Hishâm Abû Al-Miqdâm - a Hadîth of 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Azîz. Hishâm said: 'A man called Yahyâ bin so-and-so narrated to me, from Muḥammad bin Ka'b.' I said to 'Affân: 'They say that Hishâm heard it from Muḥammad bin Ka'b.' He said: 'His problem started with this Hadîth. He used to say: "Yahyâ narrated to me from Muḥammad,' then after that he claimed that he had heard it from Muḥammad.'"

قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيَّ، يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ فِي كِتَابِ عَفَّانَ، حَدِيثَ هِشَامٍ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ، حَدِيثَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ فُلَانٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَفَّانَ: إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ هِشَامٌ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا ابْتُلِيَ مِنْ قِبَلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثُمَّ ادَّعَى بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ "
