What is the difference in hadith terminology between the people of the Sunnah and the Shi'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Your Eminence, could you please clarify for us the difference between the view of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the view of the Shi'ah regarding it? Do they have the same evaluation of hadiths in terms of authentic, good, and so on? I have read that some sects of the Shi'ah only accept hadiths narrated through the path of our master 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Thank you.
The Shaykh : It is perhaps best that the answer be a glance to the left.
