Hadeeth Ranking:

The scholars of Hadeeth themselves are ranked as Motadel (moderate) such as Al-Zhahabi,

Motashaddid (strict) such as Ibn Al-Jawzi and Ad-Daraqutani

and Mutasahil (Lenient) such as Al-Hakim.

Chain of narration is examined for two things:

frequency of narration and

continuity to the prophet.

In addition to this, each narrator in the chain is evaluated

for his honesty and strength of memory.

7/30/2019 Hadeeth (10/12/2012)

36/38

Criteria for qualifying a Hadeeth as Sahih:

1. No contradictions with Quran or other well established SahihHadeeth.

2. Continuity of the chain of narrators.

3. No defects. And there has been many works on theDefects of Hadeeth by prominent scholars like Tirmizi andDaraqutani.

4. Every narrator in the chain had to be Adil (righteous),truthful and of strong memory.

If a Sahih Hadeeth fails some of these conditions, it isdegraded into the rank of Hassan. Some flaws thoughwould bring the Hadeeth down to the rank of Daeef.
