Tawaatur (تواتر) is supposed to be a concept that will solve the problem that the reports about Muhammad are based solely on oral traditions. Tawaatur means "succession" and in the "science" of hadiths it means that there is a lot of isnaads (chains of narrators of an oral tradition). When a hadith has a lot of chains, the hadith is then called "mutawaatir" (متواتر). The mutawaatir hadiths are distinguished from hadiths that are called ahaad (آحاد) which have a "small" number of chains (although ahad literally means "one" <ref>https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%d8%a2%d8%ad%d8%a7%d8%af</ref>). | Tawaatur (تواتر) is supposed to be a concept that will solve the problem that the reports about Muhammad are based solely on oral traditions.
