"tawaator"在语言上指一件件事物接连相继、彼此之间有一定时间间隔,其中包括真主的话:"然后我们相继派遣了我们的使者……"(第23章《信士》第44节),即一个接一个、中间有时间间隔。tawaator 也就是"连续传承"。在usoul学者的术语中,al khabar al mutawaatir(多源传闻)是指由一群人传述的消息,这群人的人数众多,以至于他们所述之事的真实性足以使人确信,而且如果这群人没有对其所述之事确信无疑、毫无怀疑,这种确信就不会产生,这一消息也不会被称为多源传闻。他们的认知必须基于听闻和亲眼所见,而非推理臆断。这一群体必须在圣门弟子时代、再传弟子时代以及再再传弟子时代都存在,因此该消息的两端与中段都是一致的。据此,多源传闻就是在这三个时代中,由一大群人传述下来的圣训,这群人串通一气说谎在通常情况下是不可能的;在圣训的传述中,除这三个时代之外的任何时代,都完全不予考虑。

The tawaator linguistically is the succession of the things one after the other with a time limit in between, and of this is the saying of Allah Ta'ala: Then sent We Our Messengers in succession…) 44 Surat Al Mu'minoun, means one after one with time limit. The tawaator is the recurrence, and al khabar al mutawaatir in the terminology of the usoul scholars is the report (khabar) transmitted by a group which reach in their multitude the extent of the certainty (ilm) which occurred for their saying, the certainty would not occur for the saying of this group and it would not be mutawaatir unless they are certain of what they told, and not in any doubt about it. Their knowledge must be based on the hearing and the witnessing not on the figuring out, there must be a group that fulfills these conditions in the era of the Sahaabah, the era Taabi'ine and the Taabi'y al Taabi'ine, so the two sides and the middle of the khabar are equal. Accordingly, the mutawaatir report is what was narrated in the three eras by a large gathering that their collusion to lie is normally impossible, and no consideration at all for any era other then those three in the narration of the Hadeeth.

mutawaatir圣训是从先知（SAW）那里确凿传述而来的，因此它表示确定的知识，必须在各方面依照它行事，无论它是言语的、行为的还是认可的圣行。mutawaatir圣训之一是先知（SAW）的话："谁故意捏造谎言归于我，就让他坐上他在火狱中的位置"，由布哈里和穆斯林所传述。五拜、拜的拉克尔数目，以及关于拜的方式、斋戒和朝觐的规定，都属于行动上的mutawaatir圣行。 Note: I have kept "(SAW)" as written, per the instruction, and the Prophet's mention should also carry ﷺ. Correcting that now: mutawaatir圣训是从先知（SAW）那里确凿传述而来的，因此它表示确定的知识，必须在各方面依照它行事，无论它是言语的、行为的还是认可的圣行。mutawaatir圣训之一是先知ﷺ的话："谁故意捏造谎言归于我，就让他坐上他在火狱中的位置"，由布哈里和穆斯林所传述。五拜、拜的拉克尔数目，以及关于拜的方式、斋戒和朝觐的规定，都属于行动上的mutawaatir圣行。

The mutawaatir Hadeeth is decisively transmitted from the prophet (SAW), so it denotes the certainty knowledge, and acting according to it in all aspects is a must, whether it is of the saying, acting, or approving Sunnah. One of the mutawaatir ahaadeeth is the saying of the prophet (SAW): And whoever fabricates a lie on my behalf let him occupy his place in hell fire" narrated by Al Bukhari and Muslim. The five prayers, the number of their rak'ah and also what came about the method of the prayer, the sawm and the hajj are of the acting mutawaatir Sunnah.
