The tool is simply a calculator and diagrammer, so that instead of having to do the probability calculations and diagramming manually, they all take place automatically. Users can use the tool merely for diagramming hadith chains, even if they have no interest in the probability calculations. See the essay linked above for how the probability calculation works. Rewriting and inputting the chains Given the Bukhari hadith (Bukhari #1): حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا ، أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ * Enter the hadith’s isnad in the textbox as follows: Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedSufyanal-Humaydi The chain starts from the chief transmitter (the Companion, in this case Umar. b. al-Khattab [RA]), and the transmitter names are separated by ”. Note that there are spaces before and after the ”. The spelling of the names does not matter as long as it is consistent. You must always use the same exact spelling for each unique transmitter, so Umar b. al-Khattab must always be spelled Umar b. al-Khattab” in any additional chains you add. But there is no need to worry too much about getting spellings wrong, because the diagram will immediately make it obvious by making the transmitter show up twice (below we have erroneously spelled Umar b. al-Khattab’s name differently on different chains): Then gather additional chains for this hadith using hadith search engines and/or takhrīj tools, for example Bukhari #6587 gives us another chain for the hadith: 6587 حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَخْطُبُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ ، وَإِنَّمَا لِامْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، وَمَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ * Now enter the new chain from this second hadith into a new line in the textbox, so that we have the following two lines: Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedSufyanal-Humaydi Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedHammad b. ZaydAbu al-Nu`man Now we get the following diagram: And below we have added a chain from a third hadith (Bukhari 3719): Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedSufyanal-Humaydi Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedHammad b. ZaydAbu al-Nu`man Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedHammad b. ZaydMusaddad Adding hadith collection information If you wish the details of the hadith collection to show up on the diagram, you may add it as follows: A[Bukhari] B[Muslim] That is, the hadith collection information must be enclosed in square brackets . Adding the hadith collection information to the diagram has no effect on the probability calculations. Important : Using square brackets here is essential , otherwise the hadith collection will be treated like any other transmitter, causing inaccurate calculations. Adding comments Comments can be added for your own convenience; they have no effect on the diagram or probability calculation. Comments start with a #” character. You can add comments before each chain as follows: # Bukhari 1 Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedSufyanal-Humaydi # Bukhari 6587 Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedHammad b. ZaydAbu al-Nu`man # Bukhari 3719 Umar b. al-KhattabAlqama b. al-WaqqasMuhammad b. IbrahimYahya b. SaeedHammad b. ZaydMusaddad Setting custom probabilities Each transmitter has a default probability 0.6 (i.e. 60%). Sometimes you are dealing with transmitters who are lower quality, although not totally unreliable. In those cases you can set a custom probability in brackets after the transmitter’s name, as follows: Transmitter 1Transmitter 2 (0.4)Transmitter 3 Above, Transmitter 2 gets a probability of 0.4 (40%) in the calculations. Setting probabilities above 0.6 will be ignored. We are verifying meanings This tool gives the probable authenticity of the text (matn) of the hadith. But some variant hadiths sometimes contain...
