«والمشهور يوجب علم الطمأنينة ويكون رده بدعة، ولا خلاف بين العلماء في لزوم العمل بهما»
Mashhur yields reassuring knowledge; the text calls rejection of this established category an innovation and maintains the duty to act upon both mashhur and mutawatir reports.
Reassuring knowledge is not identical to definitive knowledge. The text assigns different degrees of epistemic strength and therefore different consequences to the categories.
A technical disagreement about whether an individual narration is actually mashhur must first be examined as such; the categorical statement should not be applied indiscriminately to every disputed report.
