Al-Khabar al-Wahid is not certainly reported from the [[Infallibles]], in addition they are not handy on their own in religious matters. In issuing [[fatwa]] on [[Furu' al-Din]] (branches of religion), religious scholars mostly accept verses of the [[Qur'an]] and Mutawatir hadiths first and al-Khabar al-Wahid is acceptable only in exceptional situations.
Al-Khabar al-Wahid is not certainly reported from the [[Infallibles]], in addition they are not handy on their own in religious matters. In issuing [[fatwa]] on [[Furu' al-Din]] (branches of religion), religious scholars mostly accept verses of the [[Qur'an]] and Mutawatir hadiths first and al-Khabar al-Wahid is acceptable only in exceptional situations.


Under special circumstances, al-Khabar al-Wahid is proved to be narrated from the infallibles, which is useful for religious scholars and [[hadith]] narrators:
If there is an evidence or a group of evidences which confirms that the hadith has been issued by an infallible Imam (a), this will help religious authorities and [[hadith scholar]]s to consider it as a reliable hadith:


1) The hadith must have met several principles of [[Al-Usul al-arba'ami'a]] (the four hundred principles).
1) If the hadith exists in a number of Asl books out of [[Al-Usul al-arba'ami'a]] (the four hundred Asls).


2) If a hadith is following one principle in different ways.
2) If the hadith has been narrated in one Asl through different chains.


3) The hadith must be written by a member of [[ashab al-Ijma']] (members of consensus) such as [[Zurara b. A'yan|Zurara]], [[Muhammad b. Muslim]], etc.
3) If the hadith exists in an Asl which is compiled by a member of [[ashab al-Ijma']] (people of consensus) such as [[Zurara b. A'yan|Zurara]], [[Muhammad b. Muslim]], etc.


4) The hadith must be written in a book confirmed by [[Shi'a]] [[Imam]].
4) If the hadith exists in a book which has been presented to and confirmed by a [[Shi'a]] [[Imam]].


5) The hadith must be written in reliable Shi'a books.
5) If the hadith exists in reliable Shi'a books.


6) The hadith must be according to logical reasoning, text of the Qur'an, confirmed tradition and [[Ijma']] (consensus) of Shi'a scholars.
6) The hadith must be compatible with logical reasoning, the text of the Qur'an, confirmed tradition and [[Ijma']] (consensus) of Shi'a scholars.

With respect to the number of narrators, al-Khabar al-Wahid is categorized into three groups:


===Mustafid===
===Mustafid===
If a hadith is transmitted by at least three narrators in every generation, it is called "mustafid". Lexically Istifada means abundant and large number. As a result, if an account is transmitted with more than three narrators it will be mostly similar to [[Mutawatir Hadith]]. Al-hadith al-Mustafid are sometimes called "mashhur" (the famous), although they have different meanings; as in al-hadith al-mustafid the account is transmitted with at least three narrators in every generation and al-hadith al-mashhur (the famous hadith) is transmitted with at least three narrators in only some generations, not necessarily all of them. For instance, the hadith "deeds are by intentions." is regarded mashhur not mustafid.
If a hadith is transmitted by at least three narrators in every generation, it is called "mustafid". Lexically istifada means abundant and large number.

Al-hadith al-Mustafid are sometimes called "mashhur" (famous), although they have different meanings; as in al-hadith al-mustafid the account is transmitted with at least three narrators in every generation and al-hadith al-mashhur (the famous hadith) is transmitted with at least three narrators in only some generations, not necessarily all of them.

The hadith "deeds are by intentions" is regarded "mashhur" as it was narrated with only one companion of the [[Infallible]].
