The hadiths criticized in the Two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) are very few, and they are either:
1. Hadiths considered authentic by their compilers but weak by others.
2. Hadiths that appeared as supporting evidence (shawahid) or corroborative narrations (mutaba'at).
3. Hadiths narrated by a weak narrator who became weak after narrating them.
4. Hadiths narrated by a weak narrator whose chain of transmission () is elevated.
