A Hadith in which no narrator is missing from start to end is known as what?

Explanation

The term Mutawatir refers to a Hadith that is narrated by such a large number of people at every level of the chain that it is impossible for them to have conspired on a lie. This continuous and uninterrupted chain of transmission from the Prophet (PBUH) to the compiler gives it the highest level of authenticity. In contrast, Mursal is a Hadith where a Tabi'i directly quotes the Prophet (PBUH) without mentioning the Sahabi link, Mauquf stops at a Sahabi, and Mu'allaq has one or more narrators missing from the beginning of the chain.

Good to know

Hadith are classified based on the continuity of their chain of narrators (Sanad). Mutawatir Hadith are further divided into Mutawatir bil-Lafz (verbally identical) and Mutawatir bil-Ma'na (same meaning but different wording). The opposite of Mutawatir is Ahad (solitary) Hadith, which includes categories like Mashhur, Aziz, and Gharib based on the number of narrators at each level of the chain.
