The Term (Marrada Alqawla Fihi, Literally: Discredited Him) and Its Significance According To Ibn Hibban, An Applied Study

The research tackles the study of the term "Marrada Alqawla Fihi, literally: discredited him" by Imam Ibn Hibban by collecting the narrators whom he challenged their authenticity in narration, comparing his words to the words of other critics, and weighing them, with a brief account of what Imam Ibn Hibban transmitted about the narrator. The number of narrators reached ten narrators, and the study concluded that the term: “Marrada Alqawla Fihi, literally: discredited him” is a description that Imam Ibn Hibban gives to the weak, whether those who have reached the limit of being abandoned, or the weak whose narrations are accepted, and it is absolutely not intended to weaken the narrator by the critic, but he meant other indications by it; failure of the critic to authenticate the statement of the narrator, or assertion of his weakness, the critic’s disagreement with those who authenticate the statement of the narrator, or deviation from the correct judgment regarding the narrator, and not to exaggerate his weakness. And God knows better.
