End quote <strong>from</strong> al-Nukat(1/480),In specific terms it includes <strong>Sahih</strong> li dhaatihi (sound in andof itself) and <strong>Sahih</strong> li ghayrihi (sound because ofcorroborating evidence) only.Based on this definition, a <strong>Sahih</strong> hadith is one which isnarrated by men of good character, who are known fortheir good memories and precision, with a continuousisnaad, and is not odd or faulty.Page 156
