Sources

The Sunan collect sound and weak narrations alike, so each hadith carries its grading and the scholar behind it. Scholars differ on individual hadith, so every grading given is shown rather than one of them.

Texts come from the open hadith-api dataset, and the Arabic chapter titles from hadith-json. Gradings are attributed to the scholar who gave them and are reproduced as received — the site grades nothing itself.
