“Two narrators” is not enough

Muʿḍal and Munqaṭiʿ

Do not identify muʿḍal merely from hearing that two narrators are omitted:

• If both are omitted consecutively, the muʿḍal condition is met.
• If they are omitted at separate places, this is the stated munqaṭiʿ form.

Consider both the number and whether omissions are consecutive or separate.
