12.4 Simulizi za Madhehebu ya Waislamu
12.4 Narrations Of The Muslim Sects
Masahaba wote ni waaminifu ('udul sin:adl). Ndiyo maana watu hawakuuliza kuhusu isnādi wakati wa Mtume ﷺ na baada yake, hadi pale fitna (vita vya ndani) ilipotokea, ndipo wakaanza kuuliza kuhusu isnādi. Masahaba na wengine waliofuata baada yao waliwahimiza watu kuchunguza yule ambaye hadithi inachukuliwa kutoka kwake. Imepokewa na Abu Sakina Majashi' ibn Fateena kwamba alisema: Nilimsikia 'Ali ibn Abu Talib akisema kwamba alikuwa katika msikiti wa Kufa, ambapo alisema:
All of the Sahabah are trustworthy ('udul sin:adl). That is why people did not ask about the isnād in the time of the Prophet and after him until the fitna (civil war) took place then they asked about the isnād. The Sahabah and others (after them) encouraged people to examine the one from whom the hadīth is taken. It has been narrated by Abu Sakina Majashi' ibn Fateena that he said: I heard 'Ali ibn Abu Talib that he was in the mosque of Kufa where he said:
"Chunguza kwa makini mtu unayechukua elimu hii kutoka kwake, kwani hii ni dini."
