Shadee Elmasry – The 5 Conditions of a Sahih Hadith

What's the difference between weak Hadith and authentic hadith? Their

sound Hadith has five conditions. These five conditions are

determined by reason. And there are some texts of Quran and Hadith

that would point to it. So shut on Laughlin shut on by text. And by

common sense, the first thing is that it does not have Senate which

means the whole the chain is complete. The chain of

transmission is complete, meaning that from the incident until me

the listener or when it was written down in the book.

The chain is complete of people. There's no absence, there's no

link, absent links like Frank, I'll give you an example. The

Masjid is on fire. Who told you? Suleiman was Salamander? No.

He wasn't there. So who told him? We don't know.

So there's a missing link there. Right? But so who was Sulaiman

quoting? So a man is quoting Musa, but did he meet Musa? No, he never

met him. He's quoting someone he never met. Nah, we're not

accepting this, right? We're not accepted. This is not acceptable.

So that's number one. Masala Sana do. All right next is Allah Della.

I dalla means uprightness. In the Summary, we would basically say

ask the question, would this person be an upright witness in

court?

Or were they known for public sinning?

publicly? Did they commit sins in public so we won't accept their

testimony? For anything, let alone Hadith. So I doubt Allah, is that

there is no accurate data is something you have automatically

and you could lose it by your public misbehavior. Skipping

prayers, eating in Ramadan, when you're not allowed to things like

that, basically, or other things, much less than that sometimes.

Number three, debates. Is he accurate? And how do we know if

he's accurate?

Do we go ask his wife, when you ask him for five things in the

market? Does he come back with all five? Or did he forget one? Now

that's not how we do it. dopt is determined by we look at all his

narrations.

And we compare them to his colleagues.

When medic would sit when any scholar is how could know how a

all these all Emma, would sit to give Hadith to further session of

Hadith. You're not the only student there. Right? You're one

of 200 students, you're one of 30 students, you're one of 50

students, and the shift that scholar will have certain known

students throughout his life. All right, well, then you come and say

something and attribute it to the shake

the trends the shake, said such and such, where they're gonna go

to your colleagues, you're again, you're not the only student.

If you now consistently are different in the narration, we

have to downgrade you. There's something up something's up here.

Your duct is off. You're you're never get it right. You

consistently misquote leave something out. Add something out

of order. It's never exactly as the ship said it.

Yes, you're a loyal attendee or a loyal student. You're You're we

don't have any doubts about your behavior. But your memory is not

good. You're it's always something different, right? That you're

dumped you downgraded. So that's number three. Now number four, and

five are for big exceptions. They're negative, negative meaning

we just we want the absence of these two things. What is the

opposite? What do we need? We need the absence of should move should

do it means you quoted properly. But I'm a senior student said the

opposite. Or you quoted a hadith the hadith is sound in every way.

But of Senior Companion quoted the opposite something totally

different. So we just put a question mark on it. And we don't

rule but

let's say we all of us were five guys in the room. We have a che,

we have one teacher, all of us. Let's say I'm the oldest of you.

And out of You're the youngest, right. i Li goes and he's an

upright Narrator from the teacher. And he narrates a story from the

teacher that the teacher has visited South Africa.

And I say, the teacher never visited South Africa. That's

schueth. So you're upright and honest, and your behaviors good.

And you're narrating something that the senior the older person,

I've been with the shade for 20 years, even though it's set for

two years.

Right? That's a problem there. So what do we do with his narration?

We put a question mark on it, circle that hadith, and we just

don't use it. We don't say he's a liar.

We don't say his doctors wrong. So that's called schueth When a,

a sound Hadith contradicts a higher authority, and olders,

higher meaning by age and time spent with the chef,

or with the Prophet if it's the companions.

Number five, the absence of a hidden error, a very subtle error,

which you call it that affects the veracity of the Hadith. What does

that mean? That means, even the best expert one day could slip.

And that will only be known by the experts. And we even have like a

slip up from emetic by flipping a name. Or he cited this these

scholars are citing chains, and had deeds all day long, especially

in the early days when the chain has only three four names, it's

easy to remember. So he may be doing it so much, maybe who knows

a slip up he cites one chain with the opposite Hadith. Or he cites a

beloved best instead of Abdullah bin Omar, or he cites Solomon had

been dealt with and it's actually done would have been Solomon.

Those little slip up from the expert and who can cite that only

another expert, only another expert can say he made a mistake.

Those five conditions make us Hadith sounds and part of our law.

Such a hadith can can we accept it as law and we can act upon it? We

can not always we do. Because a sound hadith is one piece of

evidence there could be other pieces of evidence. There could be

analysis of the Hadith, like what once on Hadith, opposite Hadith.

How do we make sense of this? The Prophet wore gold during the

Prophet forbade gold.

Very simply, there's a timeline, right? There's a timeline here.

Yes, the prophet or gold sound Hadith, but it's abrogated after

the Prophet war gold, he forbade golden never word again. So

there's a timeline here. That's not all two dimensional. So a

hadith may be 100% Sounds however,

we don't act upon it. What's another one? It's 100% sounds but

the mean but but it lacks any contextualization so we don't know

how to act upon it.

So it's Matata but the data we don't know how to act upon it.

Right. So had in its nature

or even have all multiple HotJobs saying in general, I wish the

prophets I said them lived more so he could tell us more of the Ribba

in in bartering. So we don't know a lot about the bartering.

So those are examples of that.

Another example where,

let's say even medic for example.

The Prophet peace be upon him for bade in a hadith for bade eating

animals with canines.

But the Quran says nothing is forbidden except what is in the

Revelation. The Quran

surah Jelena Kula Adji to female Oh hiya la female Oh hiya la

Mohammed Illa Allah thymine IL. So therefore the ozone in the Quran.

Surah Al Anam says there is nothing forbidden except what is

revealed to me in x, y, z. Only in the Quran. So therefore medic says

okay, well, then the Prophet forbade animals with fangs with

canines. In other words, meat eaters, because it's not just the

canines, by the way, squirrel has canines squirrel has sharp teeth.

It's not just that it's meat eaters. Malik said he forbade it,

meaning discouragement.

Not for prohibition. It's a big difference, right big difference

between discouragement and so you can have a sound Hadith but it's

not acted upon or it's acted upon differently. Discouragement is

different from admission. Right?
