It is divided into seven.

The questioner : Some people cited evidence for Muslim that I would like to mention to you, so that we may look at your opinion on it. They said that the authentic hadith in all books of terminology is divided into seven categories. The highest is what al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated, followed by what al-Bukhari narrated alone, and so on, until he said, "The seventh is what is authentic according to others but was not narrated by either of them." So there is agreement in the books of terminology that the sixth rank is what is according to Muslim's condition but was not narrated by him. Since this sixth rank is authentic by the agreement of the books of hadith terminology, and one of the most important conditions of Muslim is his condition regarding the *mu'annan* hadith, this would be from the books, meaning this would be evidence for the validity of Muslim's school of thought, and that what is intended by "the most authentic" from the predecessors is the most authentic, without... without... meaning rejecting the other. Can we use this evidence?
Another questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Yes.
The questioner : Repeat it to me, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Can this be added to many pieces of evidence?
The questioner : I do not know, did you reflect on my words, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, but they... I do not know. In the books of terminology, is the *mu'annan* considered part of Muslim's condition, or is it part of the condition... is it considered part of Muslim's condition, or is Muslim's condition the men? The men, and...
