It is reported on the
authority of Yazeed bin Mujaalid al-Mu`abbarah: I heard Yahya bin Ma`een رحمه الله saying:
❝When you write, gather
(everything); and when you narrate, scrutinize (verify it before narrating).❞
🌴🌴🌴
📑 Note:
🚩 Firstly, this advice of Imaam Yahya Ibn Ma`een رحمه الله to gather and write (everything) is for the students of
knowledge and the people who are proficient in the field of Hadeeth and Asmaa
wal-Rijaal.
🚩 As for the common people, it his highly advised that
they do not read anything and everything that they find online. Rather, they
should first look at the source of this information.
1. Is the person or page
which is sharing this information reliable?
2. Has the reference
been mentioned?
🌴🌴🌴
Those who have the means
should scrutinize it even further:
3. Is the reference correct?
4. Is the translation
correct?
5. Is the statement
correctly attributed to the person?
🚫🔥 [Many times it is seen that people
attribute statements to the scholars - which they (the scholars) have never
said - and make a false reference to make it seem authentic. Example: Sometimes
statements are attributed to Shaikh al-Albaanee that he said such-and-such and
the reference quoted is “al-Saheehah”. But upon verifying, one will not find
that statement in any of the Shaikh’s books.]
🌴🌴🌴
There are four issues
that one comes across:
1. Statement is quoted
but the reference is missing.
2. Statement is correct
but the referencing is wrong.
3. Reference is
mentioned but the statement is wrong.
4. Statement is wrong
and the reference is wrong.
🌴🌴🌴
Once these steps are
taken, and it is verified to be true or authentic, only then should one share
that information.

Ibn al-Mubaarak رحمه الله said:
❝The Isnaad (the chain
of narration) is from the Deen. If not for the Isnaad, anyone could say whatever
he wanted.❞

Ibn Sireen رحمه الله said:
❝Indeed, this knowledge
(of Isnaad) is from the (foundation of this) Deen; so look from whom you take
(learn) your religion.❞
📚 [Introduction of Saheeh Muslim (26)]
