Definition of Hadeeth
A Hadeeth is a report of the sayings or actions
of Prophet Muhammad together with the list of
its chain of naration.
Uloom-ul-Hadeeth, or the science of
Hadeeth, is all of the technical knowledge we
learn about the narration of Hadeeth.
Basic Terminology
1. Sanad: This word refers to the chain
of narrators of a particular hadeeth.(i.e. the
list of people who transmitted the narration
from the prophet.) The plular of sanad is
asaneed.
2. Matan : The actual text of the
hadeeth. The plural of matan is mutoon.
3. Raawi : Is one of the narrators in the
chain of narration. The word means
narrator. The plural of raawi is ruwaah.

of the following
reasons:
1.The chain of narration is broken in some
Example:
Imam At-Tirmithi said that Muhammad said to him
that Wakeea said to him that Yazeed said to him that
he heard Ibn Mubarak who heard from Suhaib that the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
A person who makes permissible what the Quran
has forbidden has not believed in the Quran.
This chain of narration has several problems:
1. It is broken because Ibn Mubarak never met Suhaib.
2. Ibn Mubaraks quality as a narrator is unknown.
3. Yazeed is generally considered a weak narrator of
Hadeeth.
Al-Hadeeth-ul-Mawdoo
:
The
Fabricated
A Hadeeth can be Mawdoo or fabricated, when
one or more of the narrators in the Sanad is
Hadeeth
known a liar and fabricator of Hadeeth. That can
be combined with a clear religious deviation from
the Quran or the other Saheeh.
When the Scholars, label a certain Hadeeth as
Mawdoo, this means that the Prophet naver said
what is being reported. In other word, one
narrator has lied and fabricated the Hadeeth.
Example:
seek knowledge even if you have to
go china.
Hadeeth Sharee

Abu Hurayrah narrated that Rasoolullah said:
hoever lies on me deliberately should pick his
place in Hell.
