In Sahih Abu Dawud, there is a new term in the discussion of hadiths, which is: "Sahih Muqta'." We request clarification on this.

The questioner : How are you?The Shaykh .
The Shaykh : I praise Him and thank Him.
The questioner: My brother, we need to ask you a question.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner: In the Sahih of Sunan Abu Dawud, a new expression appears on one of the hadiths: "Sahih Muqta'." What is the implication of this expression?
The Shaykh: This expression is a technical term in the science of hadith. Instead of saying "Mawquf," do you know what "Mawquf" means?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes; but the meaning of "Mawquf" is that it is stopped at a Companion.
The questioner: This is the known meaning. So, "Muqta'" must be up to a known person, meaning, by Allah, this is authentic if it is with so-and-so...
The Shaykh: Listen, may Allah guide you,
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh: When "Mawquf" is said, it means it is stopped at a Companion. So if we say "Mawquf," it implies that the hadith is from the speech of a Companion. But we say "Muqta'," meaning it is not from the speech of a Companion, but rather from the speech of a Tabi'i or someone below him. Do you understand now?
The questioner: Yes, but how should people who do not know this expression look at it?
The Shaykh: They need to learn.
The questioner: Because the chain of narration is not known up to where, meaning this is when it has a chain that, by Allah, is authentic with so-and-so.
The Shaykh: My brother, do not rush. May Allah guide you. Read the text in front of you. Read it.
The questioner: It is written "Sahih," and the book is not currently in my hand. It is written "Sahih Muqta'." I wanted to inquire about this phrase.
The Shaykh: My brother, do not rush. May Allah be pleased with you.
The questioner: There is no rushing, but we wanted to inquire about it.
The Shaykh: Rushing is present. Now, when it is said that Ibn Abbas said, it is called "Sahih Mawquf." Do you know at whom it is stopped?
The questioner: Brother, we know the subject.
The Shaykh: Answer, may Allah guide you. Answer, answer, answer. We are telling you to answer.
The questioner: Yes, if you use this expression in this form, meaning none of your books contain this expression?
The Shaykh: Shaykh, may Allah guide you. I am asking you a question. Answer it, or my time is too precious for you to argue with me.
The questioner: Yes, I am coming to inquire from you, an inquiry, my brother.
The Shaykh: Inquiring should not be in your manner.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh: Because you speak more than I do.
The questioner: Go ahead, you, and explain it to me, that is all.
The Shaykh: I have explained it to you, and I am asking you a question. If you have a phrase where Ibn Abbas said such and such...
The questioner: It is stopped at Ibn Abbas.
The Shaykh: Are you still talking?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Are you still talking?
The questioner: I am not talking, just...
The Shaykh: Be quiet for a moment and listen to what I am saying to you, may Allah guide you.
The questioner: Yes, go ahead.
The Shaykh: Now you say "Yes," and then you put a stick in the wheel.
The questioner: Go ahead.
The Shaykh: If you have a phrase where Ibn Abbas said such and such, and below it it says "Sahih Mawquf," what do you understand?
The questioner: That it is stopped at Ibn Abbas.
The Shaykh: Well, what if it is Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib who said such and such?
The questioner: Meaning it is cut off at his level.
The Shaykh: So what is the problem?
The questioner: The problem is this new expression. It was not used in previous books, and I wanted to inquire about it regarding this subject only.
The Shaykh: And I have answered you, may Allah guide you. Now, do you know what "Mawquf" means? Do you know? Does someone else know?
The questioner: We ask Allah for well-being. Some people know, and some do not.
The Shaykh: I am asking you: do the other people, those who have not read the science of hadith, the science of fiqh, and the Sunnah, if they read that this is a "Mawquf" hadith, do they understand what is meant?
The questioner: They do not know what it means.
The Shaykh: Well, what do we say to him? Learn.
The questioner: We say to him, learn.
The Shaykh: Well, this issue: "Mawquf" means at a Companion, "Muqta'" means at a Tabi'i, and may Allah suffice the believers in battle.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good. In some hadiths, there is an error regarding the hadith narrated by Ibn Wahb, where he said "al-Asadi." The one who deleted the chain of narration put down "Wahb al-Asadi." So this phrase is an error. There is no Companion named Wahb al-Asadi. Rather, this is one of the people who narrated the hadith. One said "Wahb" and one said "Ibn 'Amirah." So the one who deleted the chain put down the last one, "Wahb al-Asadi." Did you notice this error, my brother?
The Shaykh: No, I did not notice. How did the narration come? How did the narration arrive?
The questioner: I am far from the book, and I will call you again and convey it to you another time.
The Shaykh: That is the best, and do not speak about this from the rooftops.
The questioner: I am, because I called and the book is far from me...
The Shaykh: It is fine, my brother. No one is rushing you. May Allah be pleased with you.
The questioner: But there is an inquiry, my brother.
The Shaykh: My brother, do I tell you not to inquire? Inquire, but know how you should inquire. Now, I want to ask you: what is this athar? What is this hadith with Wahb and Ibn Wahb that you did not mention...
The questioner: It is fine. I will inquire about the page so that you can open it.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with all good. And may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: And you, welcome.
The Shaykh : I praise Him and thank Him.
