QuestionWhen referencing a Hadith, the 'Ulama sometimes mention the phrase: "muttafaqun 'alayh" متفق عليه (agreed upon) Does it mean that Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim narrate that Hadith exactly word for word or does it mean they narrate it with similar wordings and not exact words? Jazakallahu Khairan
QuestionI once heard in a lecture that the scholars of the past were very strict on grading the authenticity of the narrators of hadith. The lecturer stated that there are some narrators who were graded as weak because they were seen eating while walking. Also, some narrator was deemed weak…
QuestionI heard, that the Hadiths in general are not transmitted to their exact wording, but that the Sahaba just transmitted it according to meaning and not according to the exact wording. Is this true?
