LessonsThree bases for classifying accepted HadithQuiz

Accepted Hadith is classified on three bases:

• Farq al-marātib: differences in the ranks of narrators' qualities.
• Taʿāruḍ: whether accepted reports appear to conflict in meaning.
• Ziyādat al-maḍmūn: whether additional content is transmitted.

These are distinct bases for classification. Do not give one basis another's name; first identify what the discussion concerns.
