التعريف :
A description of a narrator implying that he is unblemished and very accurate, and that some scholars criticised him, but their criticism does not adversely affect his narrations. It is a term close to the fourth degree of acceptability. The hadiths narrated by people of this degree are written down to serve as evidence.
