Among scholars explicitly associated with the view that relevant narrations in the two Sahih collections may yield inferential knowledge is Abu Ishaq al-Isfarayini. The discussion also names hadith authorities Abu ʿAbd Allah al-Humaydi and Abu al-Fadl ibn Tahir.
These names establish that the claim is a recognizable position within learned discussions of hadith epistemology, not merely a hypothetical possibility. The alternative terminological position remains part of the debate.
Qualification: citing a scholar for this specific principle does not authorize attributing to him unmentioned opinions on every narration or on other doctrinal questions. The attribution here concerns the defined epistemic issue.
