What is the status of multiple hadiths that are sahih mursal?
If there was a hadith that is narrated through only mursal chains, would it still be considered authentic if many of those chains were sahih?

Collection of ahadith arranged according to sahabi from whom the hadith is narrated
I once came across the name of a collection of ahadith which had ahadith ordered by the sahabi from whom the hadith was narrated, so that all the ahadith narrated from one sahabi were listed first, and then all from another sahabi and so on. I can't seem to find it now. Please tell me its name.

What is the evidence for gharib hadith being usable in fiqh?
I performed an analysis on the hadith in Bukhari and came to the conclusion that most hadith (over 90%) are Gharib (single independent chain).

I performed an analysis on the hadith in Bukhari and came to the conclusion that most hadith (over 90%) are Gharib (single independent chain).
I then learned that a Gharib is not necessarily weak because the conditions for a hadith being authentic do not take into consideration the number of independent chains of narrators.
I also learned a little bit about Imam Shafi' and his debates with Ahl ul Kalam, Mu'tazila etc. regarding the authority of Ahad hadith.
I am curious to know if someone can summarise the opinions of past scholars on Ahad (Gharib, Aziz, Mashur) hadith being authoritative in fiqh.
It seems odd to me because in general Islam requires at least 2 witnesses for most matters. So what is the Quranic evidence for accepting a hadith by a single narrator? I say Quranic evidence because if we were to use hadith it would be circular reasoning.

Conditions for a Sahih Li Ghairih hadith
I was looking on [sunnah.com](http://sunnah.com/abudawud/24/51) and came across this hadith: > عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى الأَسْلَمِيِّ، قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الشَّامَ فَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا أَنْبَاطٌ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ الشَّامِ فَنُسْلِفُهُمْ فِي الْبُرِّ وَالز...

> *We made a journey to Syria on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Nabateans of Syria came to us and we paid in advance to them (in a salam contract) in wheat and olive oil at a specified rate and for a specified time. He asked (by the people): you might have contracted with him who had these things in his possession? He replied: We did not ask them.*
It said that the hadith was **sahih li ghairih**. What is a **sahih li ghairih** hadith and what are the conditions for a muhaddith to declare a hadith **sahih li ghairih**?

What exactly is tadlees?
I'd like to get a good/full definition of tadlees: - This means a clear definition of the meaning. - If there are different kinds/levels I'd like to know the impact of the kind of tadlees on the authenticity of a hadith.

I'd like to get a good/full definition of tadlees:
- This means a clear definition of the meaning.
- If there are different kinds/levels I'd like to know the impact of the kind of tadlees on the authenticity of a hadith.
As far as I know tadlees basically means that a narrator jumps (leave out) a narrator in his narrator chain (in most cases a "classmate" or contemporary narrator who had the same teacher) to shorten it and reach a high sanad.
The point is we find that some well known scholars like Sufyan bin Uyaynah سفيان ابن عيينة (see comments on https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/30537/what-is-the-ruling-regarding-hadith-rejecters/30543#comment52787_30543) the historian ibn Ishaaq ابن اسحاق and I guess even imam Malik are said/called (accused?) to be Mudalis!
From this I assume that there might be differences between tadlees cases/reasons maybe even the Mudallis himself...?

Can you explain the status of mursal hadith?
Can you explain the status of a mursal hadith if it has sahih chain and the narrators are thiqah can it be used as evidence to prove something in Islam or is it regarded as a weak source? I believe the mursal hadith is narrated from tabi'een

Often we find in books of hadith scholars and historians (biographers) the expression that a certain narrator was among sighar as-Sahaba صغار الصحابة (maybe one could translate it small Sahabi). From the few examples I've encountered I'd assume that it refers to Sahaba who were very young when the prophet () died.
My question is, is this term well defined and agreed upon among scholars of jarh and ta'adil (if so consider quoting the definition) or are there different definitions?

How do we call a hadith which a sahabi has narrated on the authority of another sahabi?
I'm sure that the sahaba were used to remind each other of the teachings of our Prophet (), so it could certainly be that Sahabi A has witnessed the Prophet doing or saying something, while Sahabi B was not present, but heard it through Sahabi A. If Sahabi B now was to transmit this narration to a t...
I'm sure that the sahaba were used to remind each other of the teachings of our Prophet (), so it could certainly be that Sahabi A has witnessed the Prophet doing or saying something, while Sahabi B was not present, but heard it through Sahabi A.
If Sahabi B now was to transmit this narration to a tabi'i (and so on) what would this hadith be called, is there a specific term for this in the hadith sciences?
What if Sahabi B said the Prophet said/did ... (without quoting sahabi A) would that also be called tadlees? (If this would make the answer too long and needs a separate question, maybe one could discuss it in https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/46975/what-exactly-is-tadlees or I might ask a new question)

What have scholars said in regards to the definition of a (شاذ) Hadith: هو مخالفة الثقة للثقات?
A Shadh (شاذ) Hadith is the differing of a Maqbool narrator with that narrator which is more Mawthooq/trustworthy than him. But as is found in some books on the Mustalah, it says that Shadh (الشاذ) is the differing of a Mawthooq/reliable/trustworthy narrator with other narrators which are also mawth...

"Shaadh" vs. "Munkar" Hadith

In hadith science , among the branches of weak ahadith are two types classified as "shaadh" (doubtful, shady) and "munkar" (evil).
These two types both refer to a hadith that contradicts a well-known strong body of hadith, such as the 18 narrations of a sahaba praying alone with Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) and being instructed to pray on his **right** side, and one narration where the sahaba was instructed to pray on his **left** side (the latter being a munkar hadith).
But what exactly is the shade of difference between these two types of hadith?
