Accepting narrations that have been passed down through reliable sources

This hadith is about the narrations of Uthman bin Abi Al-As which were narrated by Sa'eed bin Abi Hind in a Mursal form. A mursal narration is one where the narrator has not heard it directly from the Prophet Muhammad but from someone else who heard it from him. This type of narration is accepted as long as it does not contradict any other hadith or Quranic verse. The main values taught in this hadith are to accept narrations that have been passed down through reliable sources and to be careful when accepting narrations that may contradict other sources.
