Nasai

1؎: Tariq ibn Shihab radi Allahu anhu did have the honor of seeing the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but he did not himself hear any hadith directly from him. His narrations are transmitted through another Companion, and the absence of the name of that Companion does not affect the authenticity of the hadith. This is because all the Companions (sahabah) are trustworthy (thiqat), and the omission of a known trustworthy narrator from the chain—especially if it is a Companion—does not impact the authenticity of the hadith, since all the Companions are trustworthy and upright (‘udul). Such a hadith, in which a Companion transmits a narration from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam without mentioning the intermediary Companion, is termed “mursal sahabi” in the terminology of the scholars of hadith, and the “mursal sahabi” is accepted and beneficial.
