Ahadith is a hadith that does not reach the level of the hadith. This type of hadith is divided into accepted hadith (muttawatir) and unacceptable hadiths (madam). The hadith with multiple narrators in all ages are called hadith, and the Hadith cannot be used in determining the exact date of the day of the Prophet, so that we cannot give any reliable account of their status as a prophet, and we cannot see the difference between the number of Hadith narrator and Hadith. The student of Hadith should learn from the sequence of narratives in order to make correct judgments.
