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

[76] Maḥmûd bin Ghailân narrated to me, he said: "I said to Abû Dâwûd At-Ṭayâlisî: 'You have narrated a great deal from 'Abbâd bin Maṣûr. How come you did not hear from him the Hadîth of Al-'Aṭṭarah which was narrated to us by An-Naḏr bin Shumail?' He said to me: 'Be quiet! 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Maḥdî and I met Ziyâd bin Maimûn and we asked him. We said to him: "What are these Aḥâdîth that you narrate from Anas?" He said: "What do you think of a man who commits a sin then repents; doesn't Allâh accept his repentance?" We said: "Yes." He said: "I did not hear either a little or a lot from Anas (meaning, nothing at all). If the people do not know, then you now know that I did not meet Anas.” Abû Dâwûd said: “After that, I heard that he was narrating and ‘Abdur-Rahmân and I went to him and he said: ‘I repent.’ Then after that he was narrating again, so we ignored him.”

Arabic text

وحَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيِّ: قَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، فَمَا لَكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ حَدِيثَ الْعَطَّارَةِ الَّذِي رَوَى لَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ؟ قَالَ لِيَ: " اسْكُتْ، فَأَنَا لَقِيتُ زِيَادَ بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ، وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي تَرْوِيهَا عَنْ أَنَسٍ؟ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتُمَا رَجُلًا يُذْنِبُ فَيَتُوبُ، أَلَيْسَ يَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ مِنْ ذَا قَلِيلًا وَلَا كَثِيرًا، إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ فَأَنْتُمَا لَا تَعْلَمَانِ أَنِّي لَمْ أَلْقَ أَنَسًا "، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " فَبَلَغَنَا بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ يَرْوِي، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَقَالَ: أَتُوبُ، ثُمَّ كَانَ بَعْدُ يُحَدِّثُ فَتَرَكْنَاهُ "
