Just as reports reaching the Prophet ﷺ can concern words, deeds, and approval, reports attributed to a Companion may also take these three forms.
Verbal mawqūf: a Companion’s own legal opinion or historical statement.
Actional mawqūf: a report of something a Companion did.
Approval-related mawqūf: a deed performed in the Companion’s presence with approval or non-objection attributed to that Companion.
The classification depends on the highest intended attribution of the report. A reliable chain may establish that the Companion said or did something, but further evidence is required to elevate it to Prophetic attribution.
