this, and among the things that deserve attention and draw notice is that the aforementioned preservers and scholars, in their writings on "the science of terminology," followed the approach of their predecessors in authorship, namely Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ in his "Introduction," and they rarely disagreed with him. They are mostly between summarizers, compilers, annotators, and commentators, as is known to those who study their works in this field. This issue is one where they differed from him, as the aforementioned statement by al-Nawawī regarding the sufficiency of contemporaneity and the possibility of meeting is a modification of Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ's statement, which explicitly required the condition of confirmed meeting. The aforementioned scholars followed this modification and scientifically confirmed it in their authentication of ḥadīths transmitted with isnāds where it is impossible to verify the confirmed meeting between narrators in every generation. This is almost impossible, as known to those who practice the art of takhrīj and are not among the people of whims. Here is the example before you: this ḥadīth from the narration of Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd from Sabrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) was authenticated by those previously mentioned, among them the ḥāfiẓ al-ʿIrāqī, who, in his commentary on "the Introduction," agreed with Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ on the condition of meeting. I did not find him agreeing with those who sufficed with contemporaneity, yet he agreed with them practically when he authenticated the isnād of this ḥadīth. For Sālim, it is not stated that he met Sabrah, but it is certain that he was a follower and contemporary of the Companions, and he narrated from a group of them. It is noted that he did not hear from some of them, and Sabrah is not among them. Despite this, the one who weakens authentic ḥadīths and ruins the books of the imams clings to the condition of meeting, as he said in his commentary on Ibn al-Qayyim's book "Ighāthah al-Lahfān" (1/134): "Its isnād is weak, for Sālim did not narrate from Sabrah except this ḥadīth, and he did not explicitly state hearing from him, and he is known for narrating mursal from a group of Companions, so the ḥadīth is not established for him unless he explicitly states hearing from him." To him it is said: establish the throne, then engrave! For the mentioned condition, you have no evidence except..
