In the faith-and-modesty example, Abu Ṣāliḥ is the sole narrator in the Successors' generation. Under this lesson's division, which case does this illustrate?

Gharīb Muṭlaq and Gharīb Nisbī

• Gharīb nisbī, because the single narrator may occur anywhere.
• Gharīb muṭlaq, because the Successors' generation has one narrator.
• Neither type, because a single Successor is insufficient.
