Summary
Hadith Mawquf is a report attributed to a companion of the Prophet, whether a saying or an action, whose chain of narration stops at the companion and does not reach the Prophet. It differs from Hadith Munqathi', whose chain breaks at the tabiin or later. For matters open to personal reasoning, a mawquf report is not a proof unless the companions agree, making it consensus. For matters not open to reasoning, such as unseen matters, it is treated as marfu' to the Prophet unless the companion is known to have taken it from the People of the Book.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut definisi yang diberikan oleh Imam al-Baiquniy, Hadith Mawquf adalah hadith yang disandarkan kepada sahabat Nabi SAW sama ada daripada perkataan dan perbuatan dan sanadnya tidak sampai atau bersambung kepada Rasulullah SAW.
