What distinguishes an interpolation from an acceptable addition by a reliable narrator?
Interpolated, Reversed, Extra-Link, Inconsistent, and Textually Altered Reports
- Both necessarily involve lying
- A reliable addition always occurs at the end
- Every interpolation is ṣaḥīḥ li-dhātihi
- Idrāj intrudes nonoriginal material; a validated addition can be genuinely transmitted wording
