Summary
A Musnad hadith is a hadith attributed to the Prophet SAW with a continuous, unbroken chain of narration, following the definition of Imam al-Baiquni. It requires two conditions: a connected chain and attribution to the Prophet SAW. Scholars differ in their definitions, such as Ibn Abd al-Barr who accepts a chain that is not connected, and Ibn al-Salah who includes Marfu' or Mawquf reports. A Musnad hadith is not necessarily authentic, since a narrator in the chain may be weak or unknown.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Musnad bermaksud "yang disandarkan", adapun pengertian atau definisi hadith Musnad adalah setiap hadith yang disandarkan kepada Nabi SAW tanpa terputus sanadnya sebagaimana yang dinyatakan oleh Imam al-Baiquniy.
