status unknown narrator (يُجْهَل حَالُه)
الحديث
التعريف :
A description of a hadith teacher with two or more narrators reporting from him, but neither accreditation nor rejection has been confirmed about him. The term is close to the sixth degree, the least of unacceptable grades. Hadiths narrated by people of this grade are written for reconfirmation, not as main evidence.
