Chapter 1 · Introductionحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَحَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ عَفَّانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، فَحَدَّثَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِثَبْتٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: اغْتَبْتَهُ، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: «مَا اغْتَابَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ حَكَمَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِثَبْتٍ»

‘We were near Ismā’īl bin Ulayyah, and a man narrated on authority of another man, so I said: ‘Indeed this is not reliable (Thabt)’. So the man said: ‘Are you backbiting him?’ Ismā’īl said: ‘He is not backbiting him; rather he is judging him unreliable’.
