Summary
A Mubham hadith is one that contains a narrator whose name is not mentioned or clearly known, whether in the chain of narration or in the text. A Mubham narrator in the chain makes the hadith weak unless another route names that narrator clearly. Ambiguity in the text does not affect whether a hadith is authentic or weak. If the unnamed narrator is a Companion of the Prophet SAW, the hadith is accepted because all the Companions are regarded as upright and trustworthy.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum hadith Mubham pada sanad adalah dhaif jika ia tidak mempunyai jalur lain, yang mana jalur tersebut menyebut dengan jelas nama perawi yang tidak disebut atau disembunyikan itu.
