How to Check Authenticity of a Hadith
Narrated Anas : The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire." [ Sahih Bukhari ]
Narrated Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah : that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever narrates a Hadith from me which he knows is a lie, then he is one of the liars." [ Jami at-Tirmidhi ]

These are two ahadith that are dealing with the situation of narrating fabricated hadith.So a believer would fear these words when narrating a hadith because he don't want to go Hell-fire while trying to earn rewards.But how one could verify whether the Hadith is really Hadith or not ? Isn't it the job of scholars ? NO ! One is able to verify then he should do itself.In this modern world we can easily do things what we want and same is the case with it.We can verify wethere a Hadith is true or not.But there is a bound and it is that one can only verify from the following books :
Sahih al-Bukhari , Sahih al-Muslim , Sunan an-Nasa'i , Sunan Ibn Majah , Jami at-Tirmidhi , Sunan Abi Dawud , Riyad as-Salihin , Al-Adab Al-Mufrad , Shama'il Muhammdiyah and Bulugh al-Maram.
Now why is that ? it is because from the source which we are using to verify only contains these books in addition to two other books named as " 40 Ahadith Nawawi ( Arba'een-e-Nawawi ) and 40 Hadith Qudsi ".So how to do that ? Its easy and simple, let me tell you.
How to Identify whether a Hadith is Sahih or Not ?

| Firstly go to Sunnah.com.Don't worry Alhamdolillah there are authentic ahadith on Sunnah.com.Sometimes you may find small mistakes like spelling mistake or alphabet is missing but this is a rare case. |
 |
| Secondly, copy a part of the sentence from the hadith and paste it in search box and press Enter.Here I've taken a sentence from the above mentioned Hadith. |
 |
| Now as you can see related ahadith are starting showing up and look the required hadith is found on no.2.This is how one can find out about hadith and also can get reference.But sometimes it could also happen that one would not find what he's looking for and that can happen due to change in wording or the hadith you are finding is not among the books that are available. |
