* If 70 honest people heard from other honest people who heard from other honest people.. an authentic report from Muhammad and then they narrated it to the person who will write the hadiths, but they knew only the names of the people who told them and didn't know the names of the people who told to the people who told them, then the hadith is unreliable.

==Tawatur in transmission of the Quran==
Some apologists think that the Quran was perfectly preserved, because there is a tawaatur in its transmission. The point of tawaatur is that many people say the same thing, therefore it must be true, but in the case of the Quran, many people say different things. We have many versions (qira'aat) of the Arabic Quran. We have 10 "qari" ("reciters"):
* Ibn Kathir al-Makki
* Abu 'Amr Ibn al-'Ala'
* Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud - a famous rawi Hafs transmitted from him
* Hamzah az-Zaiyyat
* Al-Kisa'i
* Ya'qub al-Yamani
* Khalaf
* Ibn Amir ad-Dimashqi
* Abu Ja'far
* Nafi‘ al-Madani - a famous rawi Warsh transmitted from him
And for every qari, there are two rawi's which also sometimes differ, even though they had the same teacher.
