«فَإِنْ خَفَّ الضَّبْطُ ... فَهُوَ الْحَسَنُ لِذَاتِهِ»

Khiffat al-dabt means a lower degree of precision, not the loss of all reliable retention. Here the verb *khaffa* conveys reduction. The transmitter may preserve reports less consistently than a top-tier expert, but remains within an acceptable level of trustworthiness.
