How can one respond to someone who claims that many narrators in the Two Sahihs are from among the "Qadariyya and Murji'a," and that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called them "Magians of this Ummah," citing the Hadith from Al-Tabarani: "The Qadariyya and the Murji'a are the Magians of this Ummah; if they fall ill, do not visit them, and if they die, do not attend their funerals?"

The scholars have discussed the ruling on narrating from innovators (Ahl al-Bid'ah), and the preponderant opinion is that it is not accepted except under certain conditions: that the innovator is not deemed a disbeliever (mukaffar) by his innovation, that there is no reason to reject his hadith other than his innovation, that he is not obstinate (mu'anid) nor an advocate for his innovation, and that he does not narrate a deniable hadith that supports his innovation. As for the two Sahih collections (Bukhari and Muslim), they did narrate from some innovators, but none of them had an innovation that rendered them disbelievers. Most of them were not advocates for their innovation, and most of what was narrated from them was in corroborative and supportive reports (mutaba'at and shawahid). Some of them had their reports narrated in the main texts (usul) with corroboration from others. What Bukhari and Muslim adopted is the view of most imams, as they believed that religious expediency dictates accepting their narrations as long as they are truthful and trustworthy. Abandoning their narrations would lead to the disappearance of knowledge and the loss of sunnahs.
