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

Text and translation

English translation

[54] It was narrated that Sufyān said: "The people used to narrate from Jābir before he showed what he showed. And when he showed what he showed, the people suspected his Hadīth, and some people abandoned him." It was said to him: "What did he show?" He said: "Belief in Ar-Raj'ah (return to this life after death and before the Day of Judgement)."

Arabic text

وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّاسُ يَحْمِلُونَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ مَا أَظْهَرَ، فَلَمَّا أَظْهَرَ مَا أَظْهَرَ اتَّهَمَهُ النَّاسُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، وَتَرَكَهُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ»، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: وَمَا أَظْهَرَ؟ قَالَ: «الْإِيمَانَ بِالرَّجْعَةِ»
