Islam Asked by Kaveh on October 4, 2021
I sometime hear hadith that want to see if they are included in the major hadith collections. Or I want to see who have narrated them and the lines of narrations, how authentic the hadith is considered by different scholars, and other information about the hadith.
However it is not easy because often I don’t know the exact Arabic phrasing of the hadtih.
How can I find information like those stated above given a rough English translation of a hadith? Is there any software or site for this?
**If you can read / write Arabic I'd suggest

The easiest way to know if a Hadith is 'authentic' is to check how many people actually Nararated it. If one Sahabi did, it is Ahad, and less trustworthy. If 10+ did, then it is Mutawatir and much more trustworthy.

As for individual classification, that is nearly impossible in English currently. Start learning which Narattors are trustworthy and which are not.

As someone who frequently hunts down references, I can only offer a hit-and-miss approach. Until hadith collections and their translations are properly digitized and stored in a retrieval-friendly format, that's going to be the best we non-Arabic speakers can do. http://sunnah.com is one step in that direction but there is a long way to go.
The hit-and-miss approach is as follows:
Keep doing this and follow the leads and if it exists chances are you'll keep narrowing the field and eventually find it, inshaAllah.
