Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) hearing hadith from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Ali (radhiyallahu anhuma)
Question
What is the most correct view regarding Sayyiduna Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) hearing hadith from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Ali (radhiyallahu anhuma)?
Answer
There is difference of opinion among the Muhadditheen whether Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) heard Ahaadith from these two Sahaabah. According to the preferred opinion, he did hear Ahaadith from Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) directly, but he did not hear Ahaadith directly from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
