Summary
Muttafiq and Muftariq refers to narrators whose names are identical in pronunciation and spelling but who are in fact different individuals. Imam al-Baiquniy gave this definition in his poem, although his wording may suggest they are two separate types of hadith. Knowing this helps avoid assuming that identical names belong to the same person. Hadith scholars distinguish narrators by studying chains of transmission, generations, teachers and technical terms, and by consulting specialised works such as that of al-Khatib al-Baghdadi.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan definisi ini, kita dapat memahami bahawa hadith Muttafiq dan Muftariq adalah hadith yang sama dari sudut lafaz (sebutan) dan juga tulisan (ejaan) tetapi yang dimaksudkan adalah zat yang berbeza.
