Urgent help needed SOON
« on: November 09, 2017, 08:56:26 PM »
Could anyone who is versed in Arabic and Rijal please provide for me references to prove that even a thiqah narrator who is known to have narrated a particular hadith when he has developed memory problems [and if this can be proved] is no longer 'thiqah' but that tradition if all other narrators are so will not be a 'saheeh' but 'hasan' tradition on account of this weakness?

If you could provide as many references and explain why those carry weight, it will be of great benefit.

as Salam Alaykum.

If truthful narrator got memory problems his ahadeth most likely would be rejected.

Ibn Kathir in "al-Bath al-Hathith" (page 668, Maktabatul Maarif) said while speaking about people whose memory became weak due to different reasons (fear; illness; problem): "Whoever heard from such (narrators) before their change, his narrations are accepted, and if someone heard after, or there is a doubt (if he heard after or before) his reports are not accepted".

Hafidh al-Iraqi said: "Ruling regarding those who changed in their memory (ikhtilat), his reports in such state are not accepted". See Hafidh al-Alai "al-Mukhtalatin" p 7.
