[Machine] "Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, I am Abu al-Abbas, I am ar-Rabi'. Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: So I asked him, meaning someone who disagreed with him on this issue, does he consider it a valid report? He said: So he mentioned a hadith that is not considered an evidence by us or by him. So I said: This is considered a valid evidence by us, but not by you, as it is not established. He said: Some of the Tabi'in mentioned it in the book of Qada' by swearing in the presence of a witness. Then Ash-Sha'bi and Ibrahim an-Nakha'i said the same. Ash-Shafi'i said: I said to him, and the statement of some of the Tabi'in with you is not considered evidence unless others who are not with them disagree with them. The scholar said: As for the mentioned report, we do not have its chain of narration, so we need to examine it. I have searched for it in many books written about hadith, but I did not find it. Perhaps he meant what was narrated from Faraj ibn Fadalah with its chain of narration from Abu Darda', as Faraj ibn Fadalah is weak in hadith, or what was narrated from an unknown man from ad-Dahhak ibn Muzahim from Ibn Mas'ud, as it is disconnected and weak."
