(i) Hadith Sahih (Authentic): This type of Hadith is highly reliable, featuring a strong, unbroken chain of trustworthy narrators with excellent memory, and a text free from defects or inconsistencies. The reliability of its narrators and the consistency of its content with other established Hadiths ensure its authenticity.

(ii) Hadith Hasan (Good Hadith): Hasan Hadiths are considered reliable and acceptable but not as strong as Sahih 'copied from e x a m p l a z a . c o m free' Hadiths. They have a generally trustworthy chain of narrators, though there may be minor issues with memory or precision. The text is sound and consistent with other Hadiths.

(iii) Hadith Da’if (Weak Hadith): This type has flaws in its chain of transmission or text, making it less reliable. Issues can include missing links in the chain, unreliable narrators, or contradictions in the text. Da’if Hadiths are generally not used for legal rulings but may be cited for moral teachings.

(iv) Hadith Mawdu’ (Fabricated Hadith): These are egregious, baseless forgeries that have been erroneously ascribed to the Prophet Muhammad. Such narrations have been proven false and hold no status in Shari’ah. Consequently, no legal rulings or religious teachings can be derived from Da’if and Mawdu’ Hadiths.

(v) Mutawatir (Consecutive): A Hadith reported by multiple narrators at different times, increasing its authenticity. The large number of narrators at each level of the chain makes it nearly impossible for the Hadith to be fabricated, providing a high degree of certainty.

(vi) Ahad (Isolated): A Hadith reported by a single narrator or a small group of narrators, making it less reliable compared to Mutawatir Hadiths. Ahad Hadiths can still be classified as Sahih, Hasan, or Da’if depending on the reliability of their narrators and the consistency of their text.

(vii) Marfu’ (Elevated): A Hadith 'copied from e x a m p l a z a . c o m free' attributed directly to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) without any intermediary, providing a direct connection to the source. Marfu’ Hadiths are significant because they convey the Prophet’s own words, actions, or approvals.

(viii) Mursal (Loose): A Hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) but with an incomplete chain of narrators. One or more narrators may be missing, typically the companion who directly heard it from the Prophet, making the Hadith less reliable.
