Is there a difference between the munqati' and the maqtu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We ask you, may Allah reward you, to define the mawquf, the gharib, the mu'allaq, the munqati', and the maqtu' hadith? And is there a difference between the munqati' and the maqtu'?

The Shaykh : I hope you would ask one question, otherwise this requires a lecture - may Allah reward you - .

The questioner : The munqati' and the maqtu'? The difference between them?

The Shaykh : Yes, the munqati' hadith is the one in which one man or narrator or more has been dropped from its chain of narration, so that is the munqati' hadith. As for the maqtu' hadith, it corresponds to the mawquf hadith. Perhaps you know that the mawquf hadith is the one that comes from the statement of a Companion without being raised to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So that is the mawquf hadith; that is, a statement made by a Companion that he does not attribute to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So in the terminology of the scholars of hadith, they call it: "a mawquf hadith."
Instead of explaining, whenever they come to mention a phrase narrated from a Companion from his saying; instead of saying this speech that you are hearing: "This is not from the speech of the Messenger (peace be upon him)"; they say - briefly - : "a mawquf hadith."
As for the maqtu' hadith, it is the mawquf hadith attributed to someone below the level of a Companion. So if there is a phrase said by a Tabi'i or someone below him, they say about it: "a maqtu' hadith." So it is different from the mawquf; the mawquf is the speech of a Companion, and the maqtu' is the speech of a Tabi'i and those below him. This is the terminology of the scholars of hadith.
