What is the criterion that enables us to say: a reference is from the first or second category? Is it the fame of the book, its critical edition, and its publication by many publishing houses? And how do we deal with obscure references found as manuscripts in major institutions like Al-Azhar? And if the hadith is in the chapter of rulings, then is this isnad (chain of narration) only for consideration, and if we find it in more than two of these obscure books with this sound isnad, or with another sound isnad, then does it become hasan (good) in itself, and if we find it in only one book, or two books from these books, then does it not rise to the level of hasan?
