Before you Reject a Hadith.. | Al-Manzooma Al-Bayquniyah

In this lesson, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan introduces Al-Manthoomah Al-Bayquniyah, a classic poem in the science of Hadith terminology (Mustalah al-Hadith). He emphasizes the unique blessing of Isnad (chains of narration) given to this Ummah, explaining how early scholars established rigorous verification to protect authentic teachings from innovation and fabrication. The lecture defines key classifications of Hadith, starting with Sahih (and its five conditions), Hasan, Da'if, Marfoo', Mawqoof, Maqtu', Musnad, and Musalsal. Ustadh Abdulrahman also explains technical flaws and concepts such as Tadlis (concealment), Shadh (irregularity), Maqloob (inverted text or chains), Mudraj (interpolation), and Mawdoo' (fabrications). The lesson concludes with inspiring historical accounts of early Hadith masters—such as Imam al-Bukhari, Yahya ibn Ma'in, and Imam Ahmad—illustrating the immense sacrifice, memory precision, and travel undertaken to preserve the Sunnah. 01:27 Introduction to Al-Manthoomah Al-Bayquniyah & Author's Biography 03:16 The Uniqueness of Isnad to the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ 05:48 Historical Origins of Checking Chains After Fitnah & Innovations 08:26 Why Every Muslim Needs to Learn Hadith Science Today 12:16 Definition of Hadith: Speech, Actions, Approvals, & Characteristics 14:18 The Five Conditions Required for a Hadith to be Authentic (Sahih) 19:42 Why Sahih al-Bukhari Outranks Sahih Muslim in Authenticity 21:46 Definitions of Good (Hasan) and Weak (Da'if) Narrations 24:03 Attributed Narrations: Marfoo', Mawqoof, and Maqtu' 25:54 Understanding Musnad, Connected (Muttasil), and Musalsal Chains 31:03 Transmissions: Aziz, Mashoor, and Gharib 32:53 Terminology of Hearing: Mu'an'an, Mubham, and Dropping Narrators 36:56 Short vs. Long Chains (Ali vs. Nazil) 39:43 Definitions of Mursal, Disconnected (Munkata'), and Mu'adhal 42:29 Two Types of Tadlis (Concealment in Narration) 45:37 Definition of Irregular (Shadh) Narrations 47:04 Definition and Examples of Inverted Narrations (Maqloob) 50:08 Testing Hadith Scholars: Imam al-Bukhari's Memory Test in Baghdad 52:53 Stories of the Dedication and Sacrifices of Early Hadith Imams 56:56 Solitary Narrations: Fard Mutlaq vs. Fard Muqayyad 59:35 Defective Narrations (Mu'allal) and Hidden Defects (Illah) 01:04:03 Contradictory (Muttarib) and Interpolated (Mudraj) Hadith 01:06:47 Peer Transmissions (Mudabbaj) and Elders from Youngers (Akabir 'an Asaghir) 01:10:16 Narrator Identification: Al-Mutafiq wal-Muftariq and Al-Mu'talif wal-Mukhtalif 01:16:31 Difference Between Shadh and Disapproved (Munkar) Narrations 01:18:21 Abandoned (Matruk) and Fabricated (Mawdoo') Hadith 01:21:38 Conclusion of the 34 Lines of Poem & Final Remarks AMAR Academy: https://www.rahmaniyyah.com Instagram:   / abdulrahmanhassanofficial25   Patreon:   / amarofficial   Telegram: https://t.me/+c87I9vy6kqkxOWZk YouTube:    / @rahmaniyyahofficial   WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBl...
