of odd hadiths (مُنْكَر الْحَدِيْث)
الحديث
التعريف :
- this is a description of a hadith narrator implying that he is lacking in accuracy, and that many of his narrations are at variance with those of reliable narrators. It is a term of the fifth degree of unacceptability. Hadiths narrated by people of this grade are written for reconfirmation, not as main evidence.
