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

[72] 'Ubaidullāh bin Mu'ādḥ Al-'Anbarī narrated to me: "My father narrated us: 'I wrote to Shu'bah asking him about Abū Shaibah, the Qāḏī of Wāsiṭ. He wrote to me saying: "Do not write down anything from him, and tear up my letter.'"

Arabic text

حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى شُعْبَةَ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَاضِي وَاسِطَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ: «لَا تَكْتُبْ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا وَمَزِّقْ كِتَابِي»
