“Matrūk,” “fāḥish al-ghalaṭ,” and “munkar al-ḥadīth” can appear among strong critical evaluations. Yet the usage of “munkar al-ḥadīth” can vary among critics; it should not be assigned one universal meaning in every scholar’s vocabulary.
“Fāḥish al-ghalaṭ” signals frequent or serious errors, while “matrūk” can indicate that a narrator’s reports are abandoned due to substantial weakness. Proper interpretation requires the critic’s established usage and the evidence supporting the judgment.
Contrast: a narrator described as “not strong” should not automatically be treated as equal to a narrator “accused of lying.” The gradation of jarḥ would otherwise be lost.
