Furthermore, Sh. Al-Homaid (p. 10) states that “most of the people that spoke about this (Tawatur) said that one doesn’t need to look at the narrators of the chains, and they seem to mean the Dhabt (i.e. the ability to retain a Hadith), as for their `Adalah (justness) it definitely needs to be looked into.”

It is clear that Sh. Al-Homaid holds this opinion since it is very possible for a large group of people to come together and narrate a lie. It is also very possible for a great number of folks to all believe in rumors and spread them such as what happens very often in our days, human nature never changed. In other words, one cannot treat Tawatur as acceptable simply for including a large number of people. Al-Judai 1/43 also adds that the number of narrators is not sufficient without knowing who the narrators are.

Shi`ee scholar of Hadith `Abd al-Hadi al-Fahdli says in Usool `Ilm al-Hadith (p. 73) that a big group of people can transmit a lie even if they did not conspire to do so, what leads them to doing this are their desires and their love of advertising or spreading what agrees with their beliefs without the need to conspire together to achieve this. He then says on the same page:

“Knowing that these folks have not conspired does not remove the possibility of intentional lying. So we must add to the definition (of Mutawatir): ‘In a way that it is safe to assume that they have not lied.’ This safety can be realized by the the number of narrators and their reliability, or that there is no reason to lie in that specific topic as well as other factors.”

So the hadith `Ali the best of men`can be sahi as mutwatir?Because why would such a large group of sunnis would lie on Ali?

Alhamdulillah the narration from Sunni-Sources are done so far. If someone knows any narration which i didn't mentioned, pls let me know.

So the hadith `Ali the best of men`can be sahi as mutwatir ? Because why would such a large group of sunnis would lie on Ali?

How would this narration be Mutawatir ?


Now i will start analyzing the narration mentioned by Imami scholar Jafar bin Ahmad bin Ali Al-Qummi in his "Nawader Al-Athar fi Ali Khayral Bashar". He mentioned 79 chains and it's seems that he collected all narration he could find in both sunni and shii sources.   

Narration #1

حدثنا أبو محمد الهروي جعفر بن أحمد بن موسى التلعكبري رحمه ال قال : حدثني أحمد بن سعيد ، قال حدثني :محمد بن عبيد بن عتبة الكندي ، قال : حدثني عبد الرحمن بن سويد عن أبيه عن الأعمش عن عاصم ابن عمرو عن جابر بن عبد الله قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و اله وسلم : (( علي خير البشر من شك فيه فقد كفر

Abu Muhammad Al-Harawy Ja’far bin Ahmad bin Musa al-Talla'ukbary - Ahmad bin Said - Muhammad bin Ubaid bin Utbah al-Kindy - Abdalrahman bin Suwaid - from his father - Al-Amash - Aasim ibn Amro - Jabr bin Abdilllah said: Rasullallah (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: Ali is the best of creation,whoever doubts,  then he has disbelieved.

grading: weak

1) Abu Muhammad Al-Harawy Ja’far bin Ahmad bin Musa al-Talla'ukbary, majhool (unknown) - [Al-Mufid min Mujam Rijal Al-Hadith]
2) Muhammad bin Ubaid bin Utbah al-Kindy, majhool - [Mustadrakat Ilm Rijal al-Hadith]
3) Al-Amash, majhool.

Did this narration reach us from any acceptable chain of narrators?

Also, the fact about the different wording should be kept in mind, one says Ali is FROM the best of men, it is possible that other narrators narrated the same report by dropping the important part which showed Ali was one of the best men. If you ask me the reason for this, then it is the weak chains.

So how many Sahi Ahadith are required to make a hadith mutwatir.It was my understanding that a mass transmitted hadith is not dependent on isnad.
Al-Hakim al-Haskani in his Shawahid al-Tanzil, vol. 2, p. 40 also states:

أقول : الحديث متواتر ، وفي مثله لا يضر ضعف الجميع فضلا عن ضعف البعض

You rightly added that intent of the group is also important.But these are not Rafdhi narrators.This is intresting point that they meant one of the best and not the best.

If not mutwatir,can we count this hadith as Hasan Mashoor?

The difference between an authentic mass-transmitted report and a mass-transmitted lie/rumor is that among those "many" chains you're supposed to find at least one authentic one.
عَلامَةُ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ الْوَقِيعَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الأَثَرِ. وَعَلامَةُ الْجَهْمِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُشَبِّهَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُجَبِّرَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الزَّنَادِقَةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ الأَثَرِ حَشْوِيَّةً

Brother Aba Abdallah already qouted this to understand:

Ibn Hajr al asqalani including the majority of your classical scholars disagree with you.

شروط التواتر :
وهذه الشروط تنقسم الى قسمين :
القسم الأول : شروط متفق عليها بين العلماء.
القسم الثاني : شروط مختلف فيها بينهم.

القسم الأول (شروط متفق عليها), فيه ثلاثة شروط :
الأول : أن يخبر عدد التواتر عن شيء قد علموه ضرورة عن طريق المحسوس من احد الحواس الخمس, اما البصر أو السمع أو الشم أو اللمس أو الذوق.
والثاني : أن يستوي طرفا الخبر ووسطه في هذه الصفة, وفي كمال العدد.
والثالث : كان العدد المخبرين يحصل به التواتر الذي يمتنع عادة تواطؤهم على الكذب, ويحصل لنا العلم بخبرهم.

والقسم الثاني (شروط مختلف فيها), فيه شرطان :
الأول : كون المخبرين مسلمين وعدولا.
واختلف فيه على مذهبين :
القول الأول : أنه يشترط في التواتر أن يكون المختبرون مسلمين وعدولا, فلا يقبل التواتر من الكفار ولا من الفساق. (وهذا القول نسب الى عبد الله بن عبدان الشافعي, قاله في كتابه "الشرائط")
والقول الثاني : أنه لا يشترط في التواتر. (وهذا ما ذهب اليه ابن قدامة, وهو مذهب الجمهور العلماء).

The majority of your scholars hold on to the position that there doesn't even have to be one sahih chain, in fact, they claim that the chains can contains fasiq and unjust people.

I remind you of this:
http://twelvershia.net/2014/08/25/understanding-the-mutawatir-and-the-tawatur/

I personally have my own standard for what I consider Mutawatir. Especially knowing the number of Hadith thieves and compulsive liars in the past 1,400 years. For me, from the biggest signs of fabrication is a great multitude of chains none of which happen to be "Sahih" or even "Hasan".

Note:This report is collected by the biggest scholars in their books of fabricated reports such as Ibn al-Jawzi, al-Jawraqani, al-Suyuti, Ibn `Iraq and al-Shawkani.

A glimpse of what al-Shawkani said about this great Mutawatir report (sarcasm):

رواه الخطيب، عن علي، مرفوعًا، وهو موضوع، والمتهم به: محمد بن كثير الكوفي، ورواه الحاكم عن ابن مسعود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عن جبريل أنه قال: يا محمد، على خير البشر، من أبي فقد كفر، وفي إسناده: محمد بن علي الجرجاني، وهو المتهم به، ومحمد بن شجاع الثلجي وهو كذاب، وعمر بن حفص الكوفي، وليس بشيء، ورواه الخطيب عن جابر مرفوعًا بهذا اللفظ، ولم يذكر جبريل. وفي إٍسناده: كذاب. وقال في الميزان: إنه باطل

similar to this report actually

نعم الرجل أبو بكر ، نعم الرجل عمر ، نعم الرجل أبو عبيدة بن الجراح
The Prophet PBUH said: The best of men is Abu Bakr, The best of men is Umar, the best of men is Abu Ubaidah bin al Jarrah.

Other version:
نعم الرجل أبو بكر نعم الرجل عمر نعم الرجل أبو عبيدة بن الجراح نعم الرجل أسيد بن حضير نعم الرجل ثابت بن قيس بن شماس نعم الرجل معاذ بن عمرو بن الجموح
The Prophet PBUH said: The best of men is Abu Bakr, the best of men is Umar, the best of men is Abu Ubaidah bin al Jarrah, the best of men is Asîd ibn Hadir, the best of men is Thabit bin Qays, the best of men is Qays bin Shamas, the best of men is Mu'ath bin Amro bin al jumouh.

- Ibn Asakir said Mahfouz in Tareekh Dimashq 25/469
- Nawawi said Isnad is Sahih in Tahtheeb al Asmaa wal Lughat 2/99

ابن حميد، صالح بن عبد الله is a respected faqih but not a mohaddis.His opinion is not superior to sheikh Albani.
الدكتوراه: شريعة الفقه وأصوله - مكة المكرمة 1402هـ
الماجستير: الفقه وأصوله – مكة المكرمة – 1396هـ
الجامعية: شريعة – مكة المكرمة 1392-1395هـ
الثانوية العامة: مكة المكرمة 1386-1387هـ
Muhadathien are pretty clear that isnad of a mass transmitted hadith will not be checked.
Imam al-Suyuti states in Tadrib al-Rawi, vol. 2, p. 176 while writing about a mutawatir Hadith:

ولذلك يجب العمل به من غير بحث عن رجاله

This is why it is OBLIGATORY to act upon it WITHOUT CHECKING ITS NARRATORS.
But I think muhadithen just pick and choose a hadith they liked as mass transmitted.

لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعا لما جئت به

"None of you believes until his desires are in accordance with what I have brought."is mass transmitted

Imam Nawawi was from the only few to class it as saheeh, while the vast majority of muhaditheen and other scholars (Albani) have classed this narration as weak

قال ابن عساكر : " حديث غريب " .
وقال ابن رجب : " تصحيح هذا الحديث بعيد جداً " .
وضعفه الشيخ محمد ناصر الدين الألباني .

قلت : نعيم ضعيف ، وفيه مقال معروف .

و عقبة بن أوس لم يثبت له سماع من ابن عمرو .

فتبين مما سبق أن للحديث ثلاث علل :
1- ضعف نعيم بن حماد .
2- اضطراب نعيم فيه .
3- انقطاعه بين عقبة بن أوس ، وعبدالله بن عمرو .

ومع هذا صححه أبونعيم بإخراجه له في " الأربعين " !
والنووي في " الأربعين " ( رقم 41 ) !
وقال ابن حجر في " الفتح " ( ج13 / ص289 ) : " رجاله ثقات " !

Again al-Albani said in al-Hashiyah:

فقد اختلفوا اختلافا كثيرا في عدده

[They differed greatly in its required numbers]

Meaning, what is Mutawatir for you is not Mutawatir for me. If you think 12 distinct chains are Mutawatir I think 20 etc...

He also adds:

بل يعتبر ما يفيد العلم على حسب العادة في سكون النفس إليهم

[What is considered is what gives certainty (in its authenticity) and makes one at ease]

وعدم تأتي التواطؤ على الكذب منهم ، إما لفرط كثرتهم ، وإما لصلاحهم ودينهم ونحو ذلك

[And that its narrators did not conspire to lie either because of their number or piety and the like]

Well here's the thing, seeing as though the Rafidah are compulsive liars and seeing as they fabricated hundreds of reports, I don't really feel at "ease" unless I see one authentic chain out of the seven or nine chains present. We already have sufficient evidence of mass-fabrications by the Rafidah and surely political motives were also there.

I'll look into it more (Farid can also participate)
عَلامَةُ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ الْوَقِيعَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الأَثَرِ. وَعَلامَةُ الْجَهْمِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُشَبِّهَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُجَبِّرَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الزَّنَادِقَةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ الأَثَرِ حَشْوِيَّةً

The claim that a narration with multiple chains is not to be analysed is when the many chains gather on a common narrator.

Suppose twenty people narrate a narration from Ali (ra). So the quote claim that the status of these twenty narrators are not to be checked as they are two many. This is considerable opinion. But the question, which many people ignore while reading these quote is, whether the isnad is authentic till these twenty people or not? Unless it is authentically established that these twenty people have really claimed to have heard this from Ali there is no point applying the rule as the narration is apparently mutawatir from Ali not from the twenty sub narrators.

I give an example for it.. The hadith that actions depends on intention is solely reported from the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) by Umar, and from him only alqama narrates it, and from alqama only Muhammad b. Ibrahim at-Taimi narrates it, and from at-Taimi only Yahya b. Saeed al-Ansari narrates it. But from al-Ansari a huge number of people have heard it.
So this narration is a had from Prophet, Umar, Alqama and at-Taimi, but mutawatir from Yahya b. Saeed.

Ironically it is the Shia who claim they will smash any hadith against the wall if it is against the Qur'an, yet due to their exaggeration with Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA) they always do the opposite (ignore the Qur'an and logic in favour of fabrications and weak hadith), they don't even realise that this hadith is completely against the foundations of Islam, no Sahih hadith is even needed to prove that, but there actually is a Sahih hadtih:

"I will be the leader (or master) of the children of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and I will be the first intercessor and the first whose intercession will be accepted.”


[Source: Sahih Muslim 2278 .Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Imam Muslim]

Narration #8

لفظ مالك بن إسماعيل و قال : حدثنا عبد الله  بجلي عن أبي كريب عن ابن نمير عن العمش عن عطية قال : دخلنا على جابر بعد أن كبر ووقع حاجباه على عينيه ، فقلنا له : ما كنتم تعدون عليا فيكم ؟ قال : (( يا غلم ارفع ، ذاك خير البشر – أو من خير البشر


Malik bin Ismail - Abdullah Al-Bajli - Abu Kareeb or Abu Kuraib - Ibn Numair - Al-Amash - Attiyyah said: We went to Jabir [...] and asked: What was Ali among you? [...] He said: [...] He was the best of creation or among the best of creation

grading: weak

1) Al-Amash, majhool.
2) Attiyyah, majhool.
3) Abu Kuraib or Abu Kareeb should be majhool as well. 

Note: The narration says, he is the best of creation or one of the best creation. The last one is true, because Ali (ra)was without any doubt one of the best creation!

No need to check rest of the sanad because Al-Amash and Attiyah are both majhool and Abu Kuraib or Abu Kareeb should be majhool aswell.
