What are the requirements for the acceptance of a Hadith?

Question

I know that there are requirements that those who collected ahadith like Bukhari and others to ensure the authenticity of a Hadith and accept it. For example, I hear often that the one giving the Hadith must be trustworthy without ever having lied before, or that they must have good adab.

For example,

• I once heard a story where Imam Bukhari went to collect a Hadith from a man, and when he got to this man's house, he saw that the man's donkey won't come to him. So what the man did was pick up his clothes and pretend that there was food in it to trick the donkey into coming. So Imam Bukhari got back on his horse and left without accepting a Hadith from this man.
• I have also heard that those who collect Hadith would not accept it from a person who stood up while drinking and eating, as they considered this to be bad manners.

So what I would like to know is, what are the requirements that allowed the collector of ahadith (e.g. Bukhari) to accept a Hadith from any person? I would like an answer that is detailed.

Answer 1

As for the requirements : 1- puberty , a narration is never accepted by a child who has reached puberty 2- Good memory and he must be able to differentiate between right and wrong 3-He must be "saleh" (good man and knows his religion well) and not "fasek" 4-as you have mentioned before "be trustworthy and not have lied before" And those are the four fundamental requirements of " rawy el hadith" As for blind men and slaves : their testimony in hadith was forbidden by imam shafe'y but allowed by imam malek . But reports are accepted from them . As for women reports are not accepted from them , however there are 2 expetions and they are A'esha and Om Salama
