This means that there are about 35,000 Ahadith trafficking among a million Hadith
transmitters, where all are documented, guarded, and well known. The details are at such
a level that if the Prophet said things in two ways, or if someone inserted a word, the very
location and setting of the statement and who he said it to is known. And if it is falsified,
they know who the liar who started it is and who reported it via him.
Verbal Transmission and Written Transmission
By the time of Baihaki (died 456 A.H.), every Hadith in a verbal form was written down
in a well known book, so after him, no one could come up with a Hadith. Also, when
they stamped the time, they knew where and when the transmitter was born and when he
passed away.
And among the 100,000 companions the scholars of Hadith focuses on 13,000
companions and know the details of their entire lives and who received Hadith from
them.
