What is the argument to refute those who claim that Sheikh Al-Albani did not narrate from any of the people of knowledge and did not read the books of Sahih to them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Confusing the narration of Hadith with its authentication and judgment. Sheikh Al-Albani was renowned for his extensive expertise in authenticating Hadith (takhrij al-Hadith), which involves commenting on Hadith by clarifying their narrators and their rank in terms of strength and weakness, highlighting discrepancies in their chains of narration (asanid) and texts (mutun), and explaining the implications of these discrepancies. Al-Albani reached a great degree of proficiency in this science, and it is not a prerequisite for someone working on authentication to have their own specific or continuous chains of narration.
