Praise be to Allaah.   <\/span>\r\n

It is difficult to compare the number of reports and the number of narrators, because one hadeeth may have been transmitted by a number of narrators, just as one narrator may have transmitted a number of ahaadeeth. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The view that there are no da’eef (weak) reports is not correct, because the position of the narrator and his status with regard to his character, precision and memory, has a great impact on the ruling on his reports. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

We will give you some examples of that. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

1 – The hadeeth “Recite Ya-Seen over your dead.” This was narrated by Abu Dawood and Ibn Maajah, via Sulaymaan al-Taymi from Abu ‘Uthmaan from his father from Ma’qil ibn Yassaar. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

This hadeeth is da’eef because the identity of Abu ‘Uthmaan and his father are not known. See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel<\/em>, 3\/150, no. 688. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

2 – The hadeeth “No child should be separated from his mother.” This was narrated by al-Bayhaqi, from the hadeeth of Husayn ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Damrah from his father from his grandfather. Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “This is a da’eef hadeeth, and there is consensus that Husayn ibn ‘Abd-Allaah is da’eef.” (al-Majmoo’<\/em>, 9\/445). <\/span><\/p>\r\n

These ahaadeeth are da’eef because their narrators are da’eef. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

It may also be the case that the isnaad is da’eef but the hadeeth itself is saheeh because it is narrated through another chain which is saheeh. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Or the isnaad may be saheeh, but the text is da’eef, because of some fault in it. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

This is a vast field of knowledge which requires study and experience. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

And Allaah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
