سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الضُّعَفَاءِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ الضَّعِيفُ مَنْ لَمْ تُرْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ حُجَّةٌ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَإِذَا عَرَفَ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَلَيْسَ بِمُسْتَضْعَفٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Muhammad Bin Mansour Al Khuzai’e, from Ali Bin Suweyd, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the weak ones (of understanding). So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote to me: ‘The weak one (of understanding) is the one to whom the proof has not been raised, and he does not recognise the differing. So when he does recognise the differing, so he would not be a weak one (of understanding)’.
