Summary
A musalsal hadith is one in which the chain of narrators follows a consistent pattern in a certain attribute or state of the narrators, and sometimes in the manner of narration, as defined by Imam al-Nawawi. Scholars divide it into similarity in the narrators, similarity in words or actions, and similarity in the attributes or manner of narration. Its ruling is sometimes sahih and sometimes dhaif, though its chain is generally weak. The stronger view is that a weak chain does not make the text weak, since most texts of musalsal hadiths are sahih.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kadang-kadang hadith musalsal adalah sahih dan kadang-kadang juga hukumnya adalah dhaif tetapi secara umumnya sanad yang terdapat pada hadith musalsal adalah dhaif.
