If a transgressor comes to you with news, then investigate, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and you would become remorseful upon what you have done [49:6] \n In the Holy Verse [49:6] , Allah -azwj has already Said that if a transgressor brings a piece of news, then investigate the news – as it could either be correct or false \u2018news\u2019. In the event of correct news, one has to accept the news – even if it was originally being reported by a transgressor\/unreliable person!

\u00a0This would eradicate the reliance of the above man-made criteria, i.e., ilm ad-diraya , `ilm ar-rijal – but why?

Let\u2019s revisit the earlier Hadith: \n In a similar to Hadith-1, it is in Hadith-2 (Appendix-I) \u2013 when it was asked from Imam \u2011asws : \n \u2018I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the differing in the Hadeeth, shall I report it from the one whom I trust it with, and among them were ones whom I do not trust with it ?\u2019 So, he -asws said: \u2018 When a Hadeeth is reported to you, and you find evidence for it from the Book of Allah -azwj , or from the words of Rasool-Allah -saww , then he who brought it to you is more deserving of it (so believe in him, as he brought the True Hadeeth)\u2019.
