Munqati (lit. broken) is an Islamic term used in the science of Hadith.

[edit] Definition

If an isnad lacks the Sahaba link, it is called a Mursal. However, if it is broken somewhere else, it is called Munqati.

A hadith that seems to be muttasil (continuous), but one of the reporters is known to have never heard hadiths from his immediate authority, even though they lived at the same time, the isnad is Munqati.

It is also applied when someone says "a man told me" [1].

[edit] Sunni view

Sunnis differentiate between a Mursal and a Munqati, viewing the Munqati as weaker.

[edit] Shi'a view

Shia'a do not differentiate between a Mursal and a Munqati isnad.
