التعريف
A ḥadīth narrated by such a large number of trustworthy people in every layer of the isnād that conspiracy to lie upon it is impossible. Yields certain knowledge (yaqīn) and is binding by consensus.
النطق: mu-ta-WĀ-tir
الاشتقاق والجذر
From و-ت-ر (w-t-r), meaning 'to follow successively.' The mutawātir comes through successive overwhelming routes.
ملاحظات علمية
Mutawātir is divided into lafẓī (the wording is identical) and ma‘nawī (the meaning is constant though wordings vary, as in the ḥadīths of seeing Allah, the punishment of the grave, or wiping over socks).
