5 CATEGORIES OF HADITH EVERY MUSLIMS MUST KNOW

my God Hadith are categorized in many categories for our purposes we'll say five main categories you should all be aware of number one grade eight number two Grade Hassan number three grade barif number four grade which is and number five grade fabricated fail fabricated grade fabricated we know for fact the processor did not see it fabricated we know this is cadib This Is Lie For example the infamous fabricated Hadith seek knowledge even if you have to go to China this has fabricated the process never uttered it we know exactly who fabricated it so this is fabricated now the only difference between them is the quality of narrators you know you have grade and you have Grade students they're both good they're both above average they're both passing the class with good if you get in class overall you've done good you know two thumbs up or thumb and half up no big deal the students masha'allah excellent so Hassan Hadith is great okay above average good good you did you did the job Hassan Hadith is essentially an authentic Hadith and for our purposes it is unless it clashes with the sahih in which case we give precedence otherwise grade and good enough now great and there's something called darif and there's something called is weak Hadith and there are over 35 reasons why Hadith can be weak the most common one the person in the chain is unknown or there's missing link very small Missing Link for example one narrator who was born in 100 Hijra narrates from Abu hurairah who died in 57 Hijra so how did the guy born in 100 Hijra or born in 80 Hijra here from Abu hurairah there is missing link right so and this is typically an early Islam one that we weren't you know things were not fully codified so this is we don't know what does it mean his life it means we are not certain maybe the prophet saws said it maybe he didn't we are uncertain we are fairly certain that he did not say it but it's not an intentional fabrication it's mistake from one of the narrators some narrator made mistake somebody messed up something but it's not fabrication fabrication means we know somebody intentionally lied then for our purposes we throw it out the window it's clearly an an error but it's not fabrication now the controversy comes over only category which is life and in nutshell in nutshell the vast majority of Scholars from early Islam to Medieval Islam to pre-modern Islam 13 centuries of scholarship this is so much so that many ulama even said there is ijima or there is listen to this carefully can never be used for theology you cannot derive Hadith or foreign you cannot base ruling of halad and Haram from Hadith but the vast majority of Scholars said you may use it in what is called nafil actions or superogatory or father ill or encouragement so to encourage people to do something generically good you may use Hadith and this is the explicit opinion of hundreds of ulama and there's no time to go into them but the most famous amongst the beginning himself he said when we narrate Hadith about Halal and Haram he made fist he said we make it strict and then when we narrate Hadith about other things he opened his hand to sahalna will make it easy okay about he made it easy this is famous commentary on book of The Sciences of Hadith and in it he says there is consensus of in other words he didn't know of any difference of opinion there is consensus of the ulama that weak Hadith may be used as long as some conditions are met number one it is used in which is as we said encouraging good things or talking about generically something bad and everybody knows this bad but Hadith comes with specific reward or specific you know punishment we may use that number two that it is not Haram and Halal it is not Theology and then some have added number three that the one who narrates the Hadith should tell the audience that it is weak Hadith this had been the famous methodology throughout most of Islam however many later Scholars began to be very lacks and they began using maybe even fabricated Hadith and it became something very common especially after you know let's say medieval time so let's say from around 900 1000 hijab the science of Hadith there really was no great great muja did to come in The Sciences of Hadith so Scholars became very LAX if it's found in some book somewhere we can quote it and the simple reality is the greatest scholar of Hadith the single greatest scholar of Hadith he wrote 22 books of Hadith of them we have still existed around 12 are still existent in every one of them without exception he used live Hadith except one and that is his side and so even Imam al-bukhari and no one can accuse him of not loving the Sunnah and no one can accuse him of not knowing life in every single book of his along with Imam Muslim Imam Muslim wrote number of books he wrote and he wrote his in his other books Imam Muslim himself has Hadid that are slightly weak and of course he knows they're weak because they're not in his he purposely did not put them in his so Imam al-bukhari wanted to give you the creme de La Creme grade this is my side but he fully understood that it is permissible to use Hadith for broader things and the same goes for evantemia his books and have read hundreds of volumes have been saying everybody knows this that IBN Tamia used live Hadith all the time not for fik not for theology but for Yani blessings and whatnot this is well known and so it should be used properly we use Imam and know his conditions and that is you do not use it for Haram and Halal you do not use it physiology you use it only to encourage generic good and so when those life Hadith that without proving something new new thick new Halal new Haram that might be problematic but it's generically known everybody should memorize the Quran wife Hadith comes and gives you certain blessing that might not be found anywhere else what do we lose because remember this point Hadith maybe the prophet Islam said it and maybe he didn't so put your trust in Allah why can't we why can't we have that good intention of Allah what do we lose by encouraging the generic good when people follow Hadith with the caveat as we said we do not derive Haram and Halal by unanimous consensus so that in nutshell is the issue of Hadi are you tired of all these annoying ads on YouTube are you worried that Haram video
