Study Notes
Methodology of the Scholars of Hadith
- Al-Mu'alaqaat signifies incomplete chains of narration, missing a connection to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
- Mawqoof denotes narrations concluding with a Companion of the Prophet, lacking direct connection to the Prophet.
- Marfoo' communicates narrations fully traced back to the Prophet, representing a complete chain of narration.
Classification of Narration Types
- Mawqoof: Chain ends with a Companion's statement, lacking direct attribution to the Prophet.
- Marfoo': Chain is complete and connects directly to the Prophet, considered more authoritative.
- With Phrases of Uncertainty: Narration includes terms expressing doubt, potentially affecting reliability.
- With Phrases of Certainty: Narration includes terms indicating confidence in the transmission's accuracy.
Narration Authenticity Categories
- Authentic (Sahih): Complete and sound chain, deemed reliable for scholarly use.
- Sound (Hassan): Chain is good, though may contain minor issues impacting strength.
- Weak without Corroboration: Chain lacks strength and is unsupported by additional narrators, diminishing its reliability.
- Weak but Corroborated: Chain is weak but backed by corroborating narrators, offering slightly enhanced credibility.
- Weak with a Minor Disconnect: Chain displays a minor break, yet acknowledged as weak, still used cautiously in scholarly contexts.
Additional Notes
- Authenticity is evaluated based on the strength and integrity of the chain of narration.
- A disconnected narration is categorized as Mawqoof, while a narration with connections elsewhere in the literature is deemed Marfoo'.
