The term al-Mutawātir refers to Hadīth narrated by

Al-Mutawātir refers to Hadīth narrated by a large number of narrators. It is a term used in Islamic scholarship to describe Hadīth that have been transmitted by such a large number of narrators at each stage of transmission that their authenticity is considered beyond doubt. This means that the Hadīth has been reported by so many people that it becomes impossible for them to have conspired to fabricate it or to have made a mistake in transmitting it. The Prophet's closest companions, the six sound collectors (i.e. Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and Nasa'i), and other Hadīth scholars are all important sources for Hadīth, but not all Hadīth that they have transmitted are considered Mutawātir. Al-Mutawātir Hadīth are considered the strongest and most reliable type of Hadīth in Islamic scholarship.
