One of the critics' habit is to use words in which they express the narrator’s state of trust and discrediting, and it has emerged through tracking those uses that they may be singular, duplicate, or compound. It indicates the discrediting alone, as their saying, 'Weak is abandoned. But sometimes some critics use words that tear between the amendment and the discrediting, which may delude or constitute the critic's intention, and among these is Imam Yaqoub bin Shaybah, who described some narrators with such complex words After contemplation, I gathered those who said these descriptions about them and compared his words to the words of other critics, so that we can come up with a summary about the aims of this imam. The idea of the research is to study these words in the sayings of some of the imams of al-Jarh and al-Ta’deel to find out what is meant by this compound, following the method of induction and analysis. God bless.
