A hadith with a continuous chain of narration, where the narrators are righteous and have perfect memory, and the chain is free from any irregularities or defects, is called Sahih or Sahih lizatihi. Among the acceptable hadiths, Sahih lizatihi has the highest status.[1][2]

A hadith where the narrator's memory has some weakness but the remaining four conditions of a Sahih hadith are met is called a Hasan lizatihi hadith.[3]

A hadith that does not meet the conditions of a Hasan lighairihi hadith is called Da'if or weak hadith. Imam an-Nawawi said, a hadith in which the conditions of Sahih and Hasan hadith are not found is called a Da'if hadith. Such a hadith is unacceptable. A hadith is rejected mainly for two reasons: (1) a narrator is missing from the chain of narration, (2) there is a complaint about the narrator. This complaint may be related to the narrator's piety or memory. Da'if hadith is included in the category of unacceptable hadiths.

If a person intentionally fabricates a hadith in the name of the Prophet, his hadith is called Mawdu or fabricated. Fabricated hadith is completely rejected and it is forbidden to narrate it. Even if the fabricator of the hadith repents sincerely, his hadith will not be accepted.

In our app, the status of hadiths that are not specific or are unclear is given as "Others". To see the status of these hadiths, look at the end of the hadith and consult a scholar.

If a hadith from an unknown person is narrated through multiple chains, it is called Hasan lighairihi. It is originally a weak hadith. But when it is narrated through multiple sources and its narrator is not accused of being a sinner or a liar, it becomes of the level of Hasan due to the other sources. But its status is lower than Hasan lizatihi.[3]

If the narration of an acceptable person is inconsistent with (contradicts) the narration of a more acceptable person, it is called Shadh. A Shadh hadith is not Sahih. It is considered a defect in the science of hadith.[7]

A hadith that does not meet the conditions of a Hasan lighairihi hadith is called Da'if or weak hadith. Imam an-Nawawi said, a hadith in which the conditions of Sahih and Hasan hadith are not found is called a Da'if hadith. Such a hadith is unacceptable. A hadith in which the narrator is missing from the end of the chain, that is, there is a gap between the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Tabi'i, is called Mursal. The reason for including Mursal hadith in the rejected category is the lack of knowledge about the state of the hidden narrator. Because, the hidden person can be a Companion or a Tabi'i. In the second case, he can be weak or reliable, etc. However, if it is known about the Tabi'i that he only narrates Mursal from a reliable person, then the scholars of hadith are in favor of suspending the hadith. Because, the doubt remains. Imam Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) and Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) are of the opinion that Mursal hadith should be accepted without any doubt. On the other hand, Imam Shafi'i and Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on them) have said that it is unacceptable. Imam Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, if it gains strength by being narrated in another chain, whether that chain is Muttasil or Mursal; then it will be acceptable. Because, this will strengthen the possibility that the hidden person is fundamentally reliable. Among the Hanafis, Abu Bakr al-Razi and among the Malikis, Abu al-Walid al-Razi have narrated: If a narrator narrates Mursal from all kinds of reliable and unreliable people, then his Mursal narration will not be acceptable, everyone is in agreement on this.[8]

If two or more narrators are consecutively missing from the chain of a hadith, it is called Mu'dal.[9]

This category indicates that the authenticity is not uniform throughout the entire text of the Hadith. One part of the narration may be classified as Sahih (Authentic), while another section or a specific sentence within the same Hadith may be Da'if (Weak). Therefore, different parts of the text hold different grades.

A Maqtu' narration that has a severely weak chain of transmission is called 'Very Weak Maqtu'' or 'Da'if Jiddan Maqtu''. 'Maqtu'' refers to the saying or action of a Tabi'i or someone after him. When the chain of such a narration contains a narrator who makes excessive mistakes or is accused of lying, it is classified as 'Very Weak', which is a lower grade than the ordinary Da'if.

The omission of a narrator from anywhere in the chain of a hadith is called Munqati'.[9]

Hiding the defect of the chain and presenting its appearance as beautiful. That is, the narrator hides the name of his own sheikh in the chain and narrates the hadith in the name of the sheikh above him in such a way that it seems as if he himself heard the hadith from him. Whereas he did not hear from him. Such a hadith is called Mudallas. Tadlis in the chain can happen in different ways. Mudallas hadith is not acceptable. And if the Mudallis person is weak, then all of his narrations are invalid.

If there is a discrepancy in the narration of two weak narrators, the one whose narration is preferred is called Ma'ruf. In other words, between two contradictory weak hadiths, the one that is relatively less weak is called Ma'ruf.

A hadith whose narrator is suspected of lying, that is, whose hadith is rejected due to telling lies in daily matters, is called Matruk.[13] However, if he repents sincerely and is proven to have adopted the true path, his hadith may be accepted later.

A hadith in which the narrator adds his own or someone else's words is called Mudraj. Mudraj can be in the chain as well as in the text. Adding such words to a hadith is forbidden.[14]

A Mutawatir hadith is one that has been narrated by such a large number of narrators that it is generally impossible for them to agree on a lie.

In the literal sense, it is a hadith that has been narrated by one person. And in the technical sense, Khabar Wahid is a hadith in which the conditions of a Mutawatir hadith are not met. This Khabar Wahid is of three types: (a) Mashhur: In the literal sense, a hadith that has become famous in people's mouths, even if it is false, is called Mashhur. And in the technical sense, a hadith that has been narrated by three or more narrators is called Mashhur. However, its level has not reached the level of Mutawatir. (b) 'Aziz: A hadith in which there are two narrators at each level of the chain is called 'Aziz. (c) Gharib: A hadith that has been narrated by only one person at some level of the chain is called a Gharib hadith.

A Marfu' or Mawquf hadith whose chain has no break is called Muttasil.[16]

A hadith that a more reliable person has narrated in opposition to a less reliable person is called a Mahfuz hadith. This hadith is acceptable.

A narrator whose identity or qualities are not known at all is called Majhul. The hadith of such a narrator is not acceptable.

A chain in which the identity or condition of any narrator is not known at all is called a chain with Jahalat (ignorance).

Tabi' is a hadith in which the narrators have agreed with the narrators of a single hadith in terms of words and meaning, or only in terms of meaning. However, the original narrator of the hadith will be the same Companion.

Shahid is a hadith in which the narrators have agreed with the narrators of a single hadith in terms of words and meaning, or only in terms of meaning. In this, the original narrator (Companion) of the hadith will be different, not the same person.

When a narrator narrates a hadith in agreement with another narrator, it is called Mutaba'at. It is of two types: (a) Mutaba'atu Tammah: If another narrator is found in place of the narrator in the first part of the chain, it is called Mutaba'at Tammah. (b) Mutaba'atu Qasirah: If another narrator is found in place of any narrator in the middle of the chain, it is called Mutaba'atu Qasirah.

In the literal sense, tashif means to make a mistake in writing and reading. In the technical sense, Musahhaf means to change the words of a hadith by opposing the narration of reliable narrators in terms of words or meaning. Tashif occurs in both the chain and the text. A narrator who acquires hadith from books without learning from a teacher or sheikh usually falls into tashif. According to Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him), Musahhaf is to change one or more dots of the letters of a word in the name of a person in the chain of a hadith or in the language of the hadith, keeping the shape of the word intact, in opposition to the narration of reliable narrators.

"New, the opposite of ancient and old. In this sense, all words, actions, and things that did not exist before but have now come into existence are Hadith. Another meaning of it is: word. In the terminology of the jurists, whatever the Prophet (peace be upon him) said as the Messenger of Allah, whatever he did, and whatever he allowed or supported to be said or done is called Hadith. But the scholars of hadith also include the description related to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the description of his qualities in the hadith. In this respect, hadith is primarily divided into three categories: 1. Qawli Hadith: What the Prophet (peace be upon him) said about something, that is, a hadith in which any of his words are narrated is called a Qawli (related to speech) hadith. 2. Fi'li Hadith: All the rules and regulations of Islam have been manifested through the actions, character, and conduct of the great Prophet (peace be upon him). Therefore, a hadith in which a description of any of his actions is mentioned is called a Fi'li (related to action) hadith. 3. Taqriri Hadith: The words or actions of the Companions that have been approved and supported by the Prophet (peace be upon him), the perspective of the Shari'ah can also be known from the description of such a word or action. Therefore, a hadith in which such an event or action is mentioned is called a Taqriri (supportive) hadith."

Another name for Hadith is Sunnah (السنة). The word Sunnah means the way of life, the principle and method of action. The way and method that the Prophet (peace be upon him) adopted is called Sunnah. In other words, the highest ideal propagated by the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the Sunnah. In the Qur'an, the greatest and most beautiful ideal (أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ) refers to this Sunnah.

Hadith is also called Khabar (خبر) in Arabic. However, the word Khabar refers to both hadith and history.

The word Athar also sometimes refers to the hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). But many make some distinction between hadith and athar. According to them, whatever has been quoted from the Companions about the Shari'ah is called Athar.

Sahabi (صحابى): One who has had the companionship of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with faith and died with faith is called a Companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Tabi'i (تابعى): One who has learned hadith from a Companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or at least has seen him and died as a Muslim is called a Tabi'i. Tabi'-Tabi'i (تابعى تابع): One who has learned hadith from a Tabi'i or at least has seen him and died as a Muslim is called a Tabi'-Tabi'i. Muhaddith (محدث): One who studies hadith and has special knowledge about the chain and text of a large number of hadiths is called a Muhaddith. Shaykh (شيخ): The narrator who teaches hadith is called a Shaykh. Shaykhan (شيخان): Among the Companions, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) are collectively called Shaykhan. But in the science of hadith, Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) and Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) and in the terminology of Fiqh, Imam Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) and Abu Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) are collectively called Shaykhan. Hafiz (حافظ): One who has memorized one hundred thousand hadiths with the details of the chain and text is called a Hafiz. Hujjat (حجة): Similarly, one who has memorized three hundred thousand hadiths is called a Hujjat. Hakim (حاكم): One who has memorized all hadiths is called a Hakim. Rijal (رجال): The group of narrators of a hadith is called Rijal. The science in which the biographies of the narrators are described is called Asma' al-Rijal. Riwayat (رواية): Narrating a hadith is called Riwayat. Sometimes the original hadith is also called Riwayat. For example, there is a Riwayat (hadith) in support of this statement. Sanad (سند): The chain of narrators through which the main text of the hadith has reached the compiler of the book is called a Sanad. In it, the names of the hadith narrators are arranged one after another. Matn (متن): The main text and its words in a hadith are called Matn.

Some authors have narrated only the main hadith, omitting the full chain. This is called Ta'liq.

If a hadith of another narrator is found similar to the hadith of one narrator, then the hadith of the second narrator is called the Mutabi' of the hadith of the first narrator. If the original narrator of both hadiths, that is, the Companion, is not the same person, then the hadith of the second person is called Shahid. And this is called Shahadat. The strength of the first hadith is increased by Mutaba'at and Shahadat.
