Source ledger
Hadith.link separates source layers, references, gradings, versioning, and preservation notes so users can see what they are reading.
English layer
English translations are attached where available and labelled as a translation layer that needs source review before scholarly reliance.
Status: useful for search, needs review
References and gradings
v8 includes a reference panel and grading panel. Where a hadith-level grade is unavailable, the site says so rather than inventing one.
Status: transparent by design
