Is it true that mutawātir hadiths are very few, perhaps not reaching one hundred, and they are the only ones whose authenticity is 100% certain, while other hadiths, including sahih ones, are not? And what are these mutawātir hadiths, and why are they not emphasized more than others?

First: Islam is a religion of morals, values, and just laws. It is the religion with which Allah perfected previous messages, and its followers believe in all messengers.

Second: The science of Hadith (definition) is precise and rigorous. Muslims have transmitted the sayings, actions, and characteristics of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

Third: The writing of prophetic traditions began during the era and lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as is evident from the Hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas. However, their collection and classification into large books were delayed.

Fourth: The division of Hadith into Ahad (singular) and Mutawatir (concurrently transmitted) does not imply doubt in the authenticity of Ahad Hadith. Many Ahad Hadith convey knowledge and must be believed in and acted upon, especially those agreed upon by the Ummah, or corroborated by verses of the Quran, or sayings of the Companions, or those surrounded by circumstantial evidence that elevates them to the level of certainty. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah clarified that a singular report (khabar al-wahid) can convey knowledge if it is accompanied by corroborating evidence that leads to certainty. Many texts in the Sahihayn are mutawatir in their wording according to Hadith scholars, and a singular report accepted with general approval necessitates certainty according to the majority of scholars.
