    The compilers of the six major Hadith books used stringent criteria to judge the authenticity and acceptability of transmitted Hadiths. They evaluated both the Sanad (chain of narrators) and the Matn (textual content) of each Hadith. For the Sanad, they verified each narrator's character, accuracy of narration, and that the chain of transmission was unbroken back to the Prophet Muhammad. For the Matn, they ensured it was consistent with the Quran, Sunnah, reason, and did not contain specifics about future events or praise/condemn individuals. Hadiths that failed any of these criteria were rejected from inclusion in the six most authoritative Hadith books: Sahih B

    Q.

    How did the compilers of six books of Hadis judge between acceptable and
    unacceptable Hadis? [10]

    Answer: In the second century of Hijrah the Muhaddithun paid complete attention to compile
    the Hadiths. This was so because some hypocrites and non-Muslims wanted to fabricate the
    Hadiths. Imam Bukhari and other scholars took this seriously and introduced some principles
    to ensure the authenticity of the Hadith. A Hadith is divided into 2 parts the first part is the
    Sand and the second is the Man. For e.g. A hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari is as follows “It
    is reported to us by Ubaidullah saying he heard Hanzalah who came to know from Ikramah
    saying he heard Ibn-e-Umar who narrates form the Prophet SAW “Islam has been based upon
    five pillars bearing the wines that Allah is One and Muhammad is His messenger, establishing
    the regular prayer, paying de regular charity, fasting in the month of Ramadan and the annual
    pilgrimage.” The first part which mentions the chain of transmitters is the Sanad and the second
    part which the body or text is the matn.
    The Muhaddithun assessed both parts of the Hadith in a highly meticulous way. For the Sanad,
    the chain of narrators were carefully studied and observed. Through the art of Asma-Ur-Rijal
    (Names of Men) their biographies were collected and investigated in detail. Each transmitter
    had to be in possession of firm faith, sound mind, an excellent memory and an upright
    character. So much so, if the transmitter had ever cheated anyone or even lied to anyone in the
    matter of joke the Hadith was rejected. The compilers also ensured that the transmitter was
    present from the time he collected or heard the Hadith till the time he transmitted it. In addition
    the first transmitter had to be the companion of the Holy Prophet (SAW), for this the
    Muhaddithun compared the the place and birth of the transmitter, the places and the people he
    met. Lastly, the chain of transmitters had to be totally and perfectly uninterrupted.
    Similarly, the matn was checked thoroughly. They ensured it was in accordance with the
    teachings of the Quran and Sunnah and was not conflicting with any of those two. For e.g. The
    Hadith will not be accepted if it says to offer 6 daily prayers. Moreover, it should also not
    contradict with human reason and logic. Example fasting the whole month is outside human
    capability. Matn also shouldn’t praise or condemn any person or tribe from the future or history
    by calling its name. Finally, matn should not contain details in a precise way about any future
    event. The six tradition books are the most authentic and reliable books of all the books on the
    traditions. They are called Sihah Sitta. The books among Sihah Sitta are Sahih Bukhari, Sahih
    Muslim, Sunan Abu Daud, Jam’e Tirmidhi, Sunan Nasai and Sunan Ibn-e-Majah
