Shykh Yasir Qadhi emphasized in a lecture to go through 40 Hadith of Imam An Nawawi followed by his Riyad Us Salehin. When looking at youtube videos I found Shykh Navaid Aziz's lectures to be very detail and well explained. So i am going through these.
In the first 2 lectures, Shykh Navaid explained a lot about the Science of Hadith. The 7 categories of Hadith in acceptable / not acceptable forms were decided based on so many different attributes of the narrators, chain, content, the timing, place and situations and their relative occurrences etc. 9 book of Hadiths with 6 of them widely accepted as Kutub Al-Sittah. I was thinking why not write a software program where we can input all those data and evaluation criteria to come up with a mathematical authenticity score instead of 7 relative levels of acceptance / rejection? But then I am afraid of Bidah (innovation in religious matters). So I will stop with just this mention here about the possibility of writing a computer program that can do based on the data gathered by past great Islamic scholars and come up with a precise ranking of 25,000 to 35,000 Sahih /Hasan hadiths and possibly all 700,000 hadiths (that include Daif/weak and fabricated ones as well). Allah knows best.
I have documented this idea at Software Program to Rank / Score Hadith Authenticity as well.
