Question<\/h3>\n

How many h\u0323ad\u012bths<\/em> or sunnan<\/em> have been narrated. Have all of them reached to every human being without changes? How do you explain the term mah\u0323f\u016bz<\/em>? <\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

We believe h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> and sunnah<\/em> are two different things. The term h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> refers to the narratives reported through individual-to-individual whereas the term sunnah<\/em> is applied to the practices constituted by the Prophet (sws) as part of the religion. These practices have been transmitted from generation-to-generation. All the generations passed them on with their consensus to the next one. This renders the sunan<\/em> absolutely authentic. None can challenge their authenticity. Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi has included a list of such actions in the exordium to his book ‘M\u012bz\u0101n<\/em>‘ titled ‘us\u0323\u016bl-o-mab\u0101d\u012b<\/em>‘. You can refer to it in order to know how many of these are absolutely authentic. On the contrary one cannot declare the individual-to-individual narratives as absolutely authentic. However, after due investigation in the isn\u0101d<\/em> and text of a narrative one obtains probable knowledge. When one is positive regarding the authenticity of a h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> he is obliged to follow it. <\/p>\n
