Lesson 1 — Foundations one-linersopen lesson →
Memorise these one-liners — they answer most foundation questions.
- Nawawi: Yahya ibn Sharaf, محيي الدين أبو زكريا, born 631 AH in Nawa, Syria, Shafi'i, died ~45 in 676 AH.
- A hadith = sanad (chain) + matn (text).
- Sahih = 5 conditions: continuous chain · upright narrators · precision · no shudhudh · no 'illah.
- Sahih → Hasan → Da'if as narrator precision drops. Hasan/Da'if can rise via supporting chains (li-ghayrihi).
- Mutawatir = certain knowledge (qat'i). Ahad = probable (zanni): Gharib 1 · Aziz 2 · Mashhur 3–9.
- Nawawi's 40 are mostly from Bukhari & Muslim; each hadith is a foundational principle of the religion.
