Mawqūf Reports: Attribution to a Companion

Read-only question overview. Answers and scoring remain inside authenticated learner attempts.

• ʿAlī is a Companion. “Speak to people about what they can understand” is reported as his own statement. What makes this a mawqūf report?
• A report describes a Companion's own action without quoting his words. Does the absence of quoted words prevent it from being mawqūf?
• Match each description to the conclusion it supports.
• Calling a report mawqūf also establishes its acceptability; no further investigation is needed.
• A report states that a Companion knew about an act and approved it. Someone else performed the act. Why does this fit the definition of mawqūf?
