Hadith Taqr i r i would, therefore, stand for a Hadith which confirms as correct a statement or an act of a companion made or done in the presence of the Holy Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and to which he did not object. Hadith Quds i i i i : In this Hadith, the Holy Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be on him) ascribes a word or act to God the Excellent, saying that God had commanded him thus.

Hadith Mauq u u u u f : The Hadith cannot be traced to the Holy Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be on him) but stops short and does not proceed beyond a particular reporter.
