What is a mursal hadith?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The mursal is a hadith narrated by a Tabi'i directly from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, without mentioning the Companion from whom he narrated. Muhaddithun, especially the early ones, may also apply the term "mursal" to any discontinuity in the chain of narration.
