باب الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ الثِّقَاتِ:Chapter: Narrating from Trustworthy Sources
Hadith 430
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: "كَانُوا لَا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ الْإِسْنَادِ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَعْدُ لِيَعْرِفُوا مَنْ كَانَ صَاحِبَ سُنَّةٍ أَخَذُوا عَنْهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبَ سُنَّةٍ، لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا عَنْهُ"، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: مَا أَظُنُّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ.
Imam Muhammad bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In the beginning, people did not ask about the chain of narration, then they started asking (i.e., they began to inquire about who the narrator is and what he is like). If the narrator was a follower of the Sunnah, they would accept the hadith from him, and if he was not a follower of the Sunnah, they would not accept the hadith from him. Imam Darimi said: I do not think that Jarir heard this from Asim.
