What is the difference between *Ijma' on the transmission* (الإجماع على النقل) and *Ijma' on the opinion*? (إجماع في الرأي).
Apparently, they are sub-categories of Ijma (الإجماع) but what is the precise difference between the two?
**Update:**
This is where I found the following text
> أما **الإجماع في الرأي** فليس بحجة عند أكثر الأصوليين، وعند طائفة كبيرة من
> المالكية
> ...
> أما **الإجماع على النقل**، فهو ليس بحجة عند غير المالكية، واتفق المالكيون
> على حجيته
> ...
Translation:
> "As far as **the ijma' on opinion** is concerned, it is not a *hujjah*
> according to the majority of the scholars of *Usul* and a considerable
> group among Malikites...whereas **the ijma' on transmission** is not a
> *hujjah* according to non-malikites and there is a consensus among malikites on it being the *hujjah* ..."
