The Jarh of Bukhari 'Feehi Nazr' explained by Shaykh Kifayatullah Sanabali

The Following is an abridged and slightly modified  translation from Shaykh Kifayatullah's risalah in his Majallah but also taken/ based on shaykh albani's tashreeh [http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63360]

Shaykh Kifayatullah hafidhahullah begins saying that some muhadditheen have taken the jarh of Imam bukhari (i.e. Feehi Nazr/Nadhr) to mean that the narrator about whom Bukhari says that , he was severely weak and matrook near him. Whereas other Muhadditheen have opined otherwise. 


Imam Dhahabi (D. 748 A.H) said :

THE CONFLICTING REPORT OF NO ONE vs ADAM AND MUHAMMAD SEEING JANNAH

Questioner :  the following hadeeth claims no man knows what is in the Jannah 

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
Allah said: I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, not has it occurred to human heart. Thus recite if you wish (1): And no soul knows what joy for them (the inhabitants of Paradise) has been kept hidden (Quran Chapter 32 Verse 17)

[Ref: Saheeh Muslim and elsewhere] 

the following statement shows as if the Prophet sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam saw jannah

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I was shown Paradise and wanted to have a bunch of fruit from it. Had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains."

[Ref: Bukhari] 

Apart from this it even mentions in the Qur'an that Adam `alayhis salaam was made to dwell in the paradise so he saw paradise then how can the first hadeeth and verse say no man has seen it?
