A description of a hadith implying that it has a continuous chain of transmission in which a reliable and accurate narrator reports from a similarly reliable and accurate one, from the beginning to the end of the chain; and that its narrator is free of contradicting any more reliable transmitters (i.e. irregularity); and has no substantial flaw detracting from its authenticity.
