Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. What is a mutawatir hadith, Your Eminence, with an example?
Answer:
A mutawatir hadith is one narrated by a large group of people whose collusion in lying is impossible by custom, from its beginning to its end. This is the mutawatir. For example, the hadith when we act according to intentions. This hadith is mutawatir up to Yahya ibn Sa'id. It was narrated by two hundred or more with many chains, to Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi, from Ali al-Qamh, from Buqas al-Layth, from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). So it is mutawatir up to Yahya ibn Sa'id. Yes.
