1734 - Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Warraq informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Tirmidhi related to us, saying: I heard al-Hasan ibn al-Bazzar say: A man came to al-Mirrisi and said: "O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, I debate with the scholars of Hadith, and every time they mention a Hadith from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), I reject it." He said: "They say: 'You are a disbeliever.'" He said: "They have spoken the truth. If they mention a Hadith from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and you reject it, they say: 'You are a disbeliever.'" He said: "Then what should I do?" He replied: "When they mention a Hadith of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), say: 'You have spoken the truth,' then strike it with a defect and say: 'It has a defect.'"
