4. Ghareeb (Rare) – The Hadith in the chain of transmission for which the number of
narrators is reduced to one at any stage is known as a Ghareeb Hadith. Imam
Tirmithi used two special terms regarding both the Hasan and Gharib Ahadith
expanding their categorization which are:
a. Hasan Sahih – A Hasan Sahih Hadith is one which has a higher degree of
authenticity than that of Hasan, but at the same time its degree of
authenticity is somewhat lesser than that of Sahih.
b. Hasan Sahih Gharib – A Hasan Sahih Hadith is at times qualified by the
word Gharib when the link in transmission is joined to another at a certain
point by one transmitter only. It is of course Hasan in respect to its
soundness and Gharib only in regard to its chain of transmission.
5. Mashhur (Well Known) – This is a tradition which has been handed down by at
least three different reliable authorities, or according to another definition, a
tradition which, although widely spread later, was originally transmitted by one
person in the first generation.
