In the science of Hadith, this refers to a hadith whose chain of narration ends at a Tabi'i. What is this hadith called?

Explanation

In the science of Hadith, ahadith are classified into different types based on where the chain ends. Hadith Maqtu' is one whose chain stops at a Tabi'i, meaning it is the Tabi'i's own saying or action, whether the chain is authentic or weak. In contrast, Hadith Mawquf ends at a Sahabi, Hadith Marfu' reaches the Prophet ﷺ, and Hadith Mursal is when a Tabi'i narrates directly from the Prophet ﷺ without mentioning a Sahabi.

Good to know

According to muhaddithin, Hadith Maqtu' refers to speech attributed to a Tabi'i, whether it is a saying or an action. It is called "Maqtu'" because its chain is cut off at the Tabi'i. Sometimes people confuse "Maqtu'" with "Munqati'", but Munqati' refers to a hadith where one or more narrators are missing from the chain, while Maqtu' specifically refers to the saying or action of a Tabi'i.
