Question
We often read that a hadîth is muttafaq `alayh. What does this mean?
Answer
The phrase “muttafaq `alayh” literally means “agreed upon”.
Among scholars of hadîth, the term is used to indicate those hadîth that are found in both Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim as related by a single Companion.
If the hadîth is related in Sahîh al-Bukhârî by a different Companion than the one who relates it in Sahîh Muslim, then the hadîth will not be referred to as “muttafaq `alayh”.
This is the usage that is well known and well-established among scholars of hadîth. Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalânî says: “It is what they (al-Bukhârî and Muslim) agree to place in their respective books from the hadîth of a single Companion.” [al-Nukat `alâ Kitâb Ibn al-Salâh (1/364)]
Among hadîth scholars, al-Jawzaqî uses the term to refer to any hadîth text found in both Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim, regardless of whether it is related in both sources from the same Companion. This is how the term is generally employed by scholars of Islamic Law.
