Munqati Hadith?????? ???????

• In Arabic, it means disconnected or cut-off.
• Definition Any Hadith whose isnaad is not
  connected , however the disconnection occurs.
• Status of Al-Munqati All the scholars of Hadith
  agreed that Al-Hadith Al-Munqati is daeef,
  since the state of the missing narrator is
  unknown.

4
Muallaq Hadith?????? ???????

• In Arabic, it means anything that is suspended or
  hanging.
• Definition It is the hadith which has one
  narrator or more deleted from the beginning of
  the Isnaad.
• It might include the hadith which has the whole
  isnaad deleted like when Imam Bukharee said The
  prophet (peace be upon him) used to remember
  Allah all the time.
• Status of Al-Muallaq It is rejected since it is
  missing the condition of connection.
• Al-Hadith Al-Mualla in Saheeh Al-bukharee
• Stated in a definite form, like he said, then
  it is saheeh.
• Quoted in a weak form, like It was said . It
  can not be considered saheeh until a connected
  isnaad can be found for that particular hadeeth.

5
Mursal Hadith

• In Arabic, it means any thing which was set free.
• Definition It is the hadith which was referred
  to Rasullullah (peace be upon him) by a Tabiee
  or a sahabi who did not hear it from the prophet
  (peace be upon him).
• Example when Saeed ibn Al-Musayib narrates that
  the Prophet said such and such.

6
Ruling of Mursal Hadith??? ?????? ??????

• Al-Hadith Al-Mursal is to be rejected, since it
  missed one of the conditions of Authenticity (
  The connection of the isnaad) and we dont know
  who is missing. He may not be a companion and he
  may be a weak narrator. However, some scholars
  have different opinions regarding the ruling of
  Al-Mursal. There three famous opinions
• (1) Al-Mursal is Daeef This is the position of
  most of the scholars of Hadith and many scholars
  of Fiqh.

Mursal Hadith continued

• (2) Accepted and used as a proof This is the
  position of Imam Abou Hanifah , Malik and a
  famous opinion of Imam Ahmed. This is based upon
  the fact that it would be impossible for a
  Taabiee who is thiqah to report something from
  the Prophet which he did not hear from a reliable
  source.

Al-Mursal - continued

• (3) Accepted with some conditions This is the
  position of Imam Shafiee and some other
  scholars. The conditions are
• That the one who does irsaal is a senior Tabiee.
• That the hadith is narrated by another mursal
  chain.
• That the hadith is supported by a fatwa from a
  sahabi or fatawas from the majority of the
  scholars or the text of the hadith goes with a
  good analogy (qiyaas).

9
Mursal of a Sahabi???? ???????

• Mursal of a Sahabi is a hadith which a companion
  reported, but he did not hear it directly from
  the prophet. It usually happens due to his young
  age, late reversion to Islam or absence.
• Example Saeed ibn Jubair narrated from ibn
  Abbas, he said that Abu Lahab said to the
  Prophet May you perish. You gathered us only for
  this reason? Then Abu Lahab went away. So surat
  Almasad Perish the hands of Abu Lahab was
  revealed. (reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
  This hadith is a Mursal of a Sahabi because Ibn
  Abbas was born before the Hijrah by three years,
  but this incident happened after the Prophet
  (peace be upon him) was given the message by
  three years. So this incident took place 7 years
  before the birth of Ibn Abbas (May Allah be
  pleased with him).

10
The status of Mursal As-Sahabi

• It is saheeh and used as proof, since the sahaba
  usually dont narrate from a taabiee, and if
  they do then they mention the source of their
  hadith. If they dont say anything, then they
  will be narrating from another companion, and all
  of them are trustworthy and reliable.
