● Definition: A report in which a transmitter's precision is somewhat lower, but the deficiency is compensated by support from multiple chains.
● Example: «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»
● Translation: If I did not fear hardship for my community, I would command them to use the tooth-stick at every prayer.
● Reason: Support from multiple chains compensates for a transmitter's weaker memory, so this is ṣaḥīḥ li-ghayrihi.
