وَمَنْ نَحَا نَحْوَهُمْ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْمُنْكَرِ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ، فَلَسْنَا نُعَرِّجُ عَلَى حَدِيثِهِمْ وَلَا نَتَشَاغَلُ بِهِ
Translation: As for those who follow the same course in transmitting anomalous reports, we do not turn to their reports, nor do we occupy ourselves with them.
The rationale follows: acceptance of a narrator’s otherwise singular report depends in part on what his established transmission shows about his accuracy. Thus rejection is grounded in a criterion, not merely in a list of names.
