8. The Condition for the Acceptance of
Hadith

A Hadith must meet the
following five criteria in order
to be accepted in Islamic law
as a source of legal ordinance
Continuity of the change of
transmitters:
•chain of transmitters has to be
unbroken in order for the hadith to
be accepted.
•The transmitter must not be
missing from the chain of narrators
•Transmitter must have heard the
hadith directly from the
transmitter before him
•It is verified with biographical
science of hadith

9. The integrity of the transmitters:
Integrity of transmitters is established
in terms how they practice Islam.
They are not engaged in doing
forbidden things and must be
righteous and pious
Again should be verified through the
biographical science of Hadith
Soundness of Memory of transmitters
•must be verified through biographical science
of Hadith that transmitter has a sound memory or
his books were accurate and directly transmitted
from his book

10. Conformity of the
Hadith
•The conformity should be
both in the chain of
transmitters and in the text
Absence of Defects
•A defect in hadith is
defined as hidden defect in
the hadith which takes
away from its authenticity
•Hadith which appears to be
free from all defects in
beginning but after
thorough investigation
finds some defects
which can be in the chain
of transmitters or in the
text

11. Classification of Hadith

There are 2 types
of Hadiths:
The recurrent
Hadith (al-Hadith
al-mutawatir)
and the senses.
•This type of hadith is decisive, has no doubt that it actually came
from Prophet Muhammad pbuh
•Conditions of Mutawatir Hadith- Recurrent Hadith
•1. at Least four different people must have narrated the hadith
•2. Must be impossible for those four or more people to concur on a
lie.
•3. They must have narrated the hadith from the same people (first
2 conditions being applicable) from the beginning of the chain of
transmitters until the end of it
•4. The narration on the Hadith must rely on the mind

12. The non recurrent Hadith (al-hadith al-ahad)

Any Hadith which is not recurrent (mutawatir) is
called non-recurrent (ahad). This category is divided
into three sub categories according to number of
narrator of the Hadith.
The well known Hadith (al-Hadith al-mashhur). This
hadith which has been narrated by three or more
people in the chain of transmitters but did not arrive
at the rank of the recurrent hadith
The strong hadith (al-hadith al-aziz) this is a hadith in
which there are no less than 2 narrators in each part
of the chain on narrators

13. The rare Hadith (al-
hadith al-gharib) this is a
hadith which is narrated
by a single person at one
point in the chain of
transmitters

14. The non-recurrent is also sub divided in the three more
classifications regarding the beginning of the chain of transmitters
Elevated Hadith (al-hadith al-Marfu) This
is a hadith the chain or narrators fro
which begins prophet Muhammad pbuh
The Suspended Hadith (al-Hadith al-
mawquf) this hadith the chain of
narrators does not trace the Prophet
pbuh but instead a companion of the
Prophet

15. Elevated Hadith (al-hadith al-Marfu) This
is a hadith the chain or narrators fro
which begins prophet Muhammad pbuh
The Suspended Hadith (al-Hadith al-
mawquf) this hadith the chain of
narrators does not trace the Prophet
pbuh but instead a companion of the
Prophet

16. Authentic Hadith (al-hadith as-sahih). This is
a hadith which satisfies the 5 criteria of
acceptance of hadith.
The good Hadith (al-hadith al-hasan) this is
the hadith which like the authentic hadith
also satisfies the five criteria except the third
criteria of soundness of memory of the
transmitters is only slightly satisfied.

17. The weak hadith (al-hadith al-da’if) This
is hadith which does not satisfy all the
five criteria for acceptance of hadith
Weakness in the Hadith due to lacking
continuity
Continuity is missing at the end of the
chain, hanging (mu’allaq)

18. contues
Continuity is
missing in
the middle of
the chain of
transmitters,
interrupted
(munqati’)
•It 2 successive
transmitters or more are
missing in the middle of
the chain or transmitters
, problematic (mu’dil)
•If the first transmitter,
a companion of
Prophet Muhammad
pbuh is missing from
the chain of
transmitters, the
hadith is called
incompletely
transmitted (mursal)

19. Three sub
groupings
of hadith
are
classified
as:
•Forged transmitters-
hadith which transmitter
had transmitted from
other transmitter who he
has met but under whom
he did not study, implying
that he heard from him
•Forged regarding teachers
•Forged regarding naming
of transmitters
•If one of the transmitter of
the hadith is not named it
is called obscure

20. If something has been added to the
hadith then it is known as interpolated
Weakness due inaccuracy of memories
of transmitters
•Transmitted by a different weak channel -shaky
•Change in wording of the hadith- interpolated
•Inversion in the words of the chain of narrators or
text of the hadith –inverted
