Hasan Lighayrihi Flashcards
What is the definition of Hasan Lighayrihi?
It is a daeef hadith when its chains are numerous and the reasoning of its weakness is not the sinning of the narrator or his lying. This definition gives the benefit that a daeef hadith reaches the rank of hasan lighayrihi due to two factors.
What are the two factors which cause a daeef hadith to reach the rank of hasan lighayrihi?
1: That daeef hadith has been narrated from another sanaf or more upon the fact that the second sanad is similar or stronger than it.
2: That the cause of the weakness in the daeef hadith is due to the bad memory of its narrator but he is not known to make things up, lie and can sometimes narrate right and is not a fasiq. Either there is a narrator cut off in within its sanad or there is an unknown narrator.
What is the reason for naming it hasan lighayrihi?
Because the goodness of the hadith has not come from the actual first sanad. It has come due to the joining of another sanad with it. (Hasan lighayrihi=2 daeef).
Why not 2 sahih lighayrihi=sahih lithatihi?
2 hasan hadiths, one is already a hasan hadith and the other has a problem so they back eachother up. Sahih lithatihi has no problems and no backing up is needed. Sahih lighayrihi has problem due to other than it.
What is the ranking of hasan lighayrihi compared with other ranks of hadith?
A hasan lighayrihi hadith is a lower stage than a hasan lithatihi. Basing upon this, if a hasan lithatihi was to contradict with a hasan lighayrihi, then you give preference to hasan lithatihi.
What is the ruling of a hasan lighayrihi hadith?
It’s amongst the accepted ahadith and you can use it as an evidence and daleel.
What is the example of a hasan lighayrihi hadith?
Hadith regarding marriage being contracted upon a pair of slippers. Musannif r.h says Asim is a weak narrator due to his bad memory, yet Imam Tirmithi (r.h) has given the rank of hasan to it because it has been backed up by other sanads.
