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

[77] Ḥasan Al-Ḥulwânî narrated to me, he said: “I heard Shabâbah say: “Abdul-Quddûs used to narrate to us and say: “Suwaid bin ‘Aqalah.””[1] Shabâbah said: ‘And I heard ‘Abdul-Quddûs say: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade using Ar-Rawhu ‘ardan.” It was said to him: “What does that mean?” He said: “It means making a small window in a wall to let the breeze pass through.”[2] Muslim said: I heard ‘Ubaidullâh bin ‘Umar Al-Qawârînî say: “I heard Hammâd bin Zaid say to a man - a few days after Mahdî bin Hilâl arrived: ‘What is this tainted spring coming from your direction?’[3] He said: ‘Yes indeed, O Abû Ismâ’l.”

  1. 1

    [1] While the name is Suwaid bin Ghafalah.

  2. 2

    [2] The issue here has to do with the phrase Yuttakhadh ar-rūh ghardan (taking a living creature as a target), which is the correct wording of the narration. However, it was misread and recited by ‘Abdul-Quddûs as Yuttakhadh ar-rawh ‘aradan (making a space to let the air in). Both of these examples were mentioned to demonstrate his lack of abilities as a narrator.

  3. 3

    [3] Meaning that he felt he was weak and not fit to narrate Hadîth.
