Question
I have the following questions about Hadith:
1. Are all the Hadiths in Bukhari and Muslim sahih li dhatihi or are there also some sahih li ghayrihi narrations? Please provide example if there are any?
2. For a Hadith to be classed as sahih li ghayrihi, does the supporting narration need to have the exact words or just the same meaning? If it just needs the same meaning, will it also include one part of a lengthy narration supporting a small narration? Read More »
Question
I studied that some opinions said that the number of mutawatir Hadith must be 313 to match that of the people of Badr but I tried to look for who exactly said this and I could not find an answer. Ibn Taymiyyah and ‘Ali Qari mentioned the opinion by generically saying ‘And some said’ without mentioning who.
Can you please inform me as to who it was that specifically that held this opinion and a reference would be appreciated.

Question
If a Hadith in Tirmidhi has been declared hasan sahih by Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) but declared weak by contemporary ‘Ulama after scrutinising the chain. Which ruling would be given preference to?
Question
Are all the Hadiths in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim really authentic?
I ask this because there are numerous notable and prominent Scholars who believe that there are many weak narrations present in Bukhari and Muslim. They even provided references of several weak Hadith for that.
On the other hand, there are numerous scholars who believe that all narrations in Bukhari and Muslim are authentic, and there is no question on this. However, both of these groups of scholars cannot be right at the same time. I want to ask that are all narration in Bukhari and Muslim really authentic?
Question
What should an individual practice upon after being told that one specific Hadith is not okay for practice, although others have said that it is okay to practice upon?
The Hadith I’m referring to is the one you posted regarding the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, fasting a day being equivalent to fasting a year and praying at night is equivalent to the worship of the Night of Qadr.
My question is what should one practice upon when he hears two conflicting answers, also why is it that there is such a huge difference of opinion on the grading of Hadiths? Read More »

Question
I came across a contemporary takhrij of a compilation of Hadith about the ‘Hadithul ifk’ [The Hadith of the lie/slander] originally done by ‘Abdul Ghani Al-Maqdisi. I was surprised to know that there are so many different chains of transmission on this story. I know that it is mentioned in Surah Nur but I’m specifically wondering with regards to just taking into account the Ahadith that make explicit mention of Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha), would the sheer number of chains in this book lead us to state that the ‘Hadithul ifk’ (excluding the verses of Surah Nur) is mutawatir bil m’ana?

Question
In some of your answers, you have referenced some stories as Israely narrations; such as the story of Nabi Musa (‘alayhis salam) having a stomach ache and Nabi Sulayman (‘alayhis salam) wanting to feed the entire creation, so it is not wrong to quotes these stories?
I have come across the following Hadith also. Please comment on it also:
‘Convey [my teachings] to the people even if it were a single sentence, and tell others the stories of Bani Israel [which have been taught to you] for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the Jahannam.’
