here is the answer.....

A. In the second century of Hijrah the Muhaddithun paid complete attention to compile the Hadiths.
This was so because some hypocrites and non-Muslims wanted to fabricate the Hadiths. Imam
Bukhari and other scholars took this seriously and introduced some principles to ensure the
authenticity of the Hadith.
A Hadith is divided into 2 parts the first part is the Sand and the second is the Man. For e.g. A hadith
narrated by Imam Bukhari is as follows “It is reported to us by Ubaidullah saying he heard Hanzalah
who came to know from Ikramah saying he heard Ibn-e-Umar who narrates form the Prophet SAW
“Islam has been based upon five pillars bearing the wines that Allah is One and Muhammad is His
messenger, establishing the regular prayer, paying de regular charity, fasting in the month of
Ramadan and the annual pilgrimage.” The first part which mentions the chain of transmitters is the
Sanad and the second part which the body or text is the matn. The Muhaddithun assessed both
parts of the Hadith in a highly meticulous way.
For the Sanad, the chain of narrators were carefully studied and observed. Through the art of Asma-
Ur-Rijal (Names of Men) their biographies were collected and investigated in detail. Each transmitter
had to be in possession of firm faith, sound mind, an excellent memory and an upright character. So
much so, if the transmitter had ever cheated anyone or even lied to anyone in the matter of joke the
Hadith was rejected. The compilers also ensured that the transmitter was present from the time he
collected or heard the Hadith till the time he transmitted it. In addition the first transmitter had to
be the companion of the Holy Prophet (SAW), for this the Muhaddithun compared the the place and
birth of the transmitter, the places and the people he met. Lastly, the chain of transmitters had to be
totally and perfectly uninterrupted.
Similarly, the matn was checked thoroughly. They ensured it was in accordance with the teachings
of the Quran and Sunnah and was not conflicting with any of those two. For e.g. The Hadith will not
be accepted if it says to offer 6 daily prayers. Moreover, it should also not contradict with human
reason and logic. Example fasting the whole month is outside human capability. Matn also shouldn’t
praise or condemn any person or tribe from the future or history by calling its name. Finally, matn
should not contain details in a precise way about any future event.
The six tradition books are the most authentic and reliable books of all the books on the traditions.
They are called Sihah sitta. The books among Sihah sitta are Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu
Daud, Jam’e Tirmidhi, Sunan Nasai and Sunan Ibn-e-Majah.
Isnt this the answer to how hadiths were ensured as authentic?

Is it okay if i add these points in that answer..i mean just see if they're correct:
Companions were sent to Medina, Masjid-e-Nabawi..
The Prophet said in his last sermon: ''Those who are present (here) should convey the Message to those who are absent.'' and ''Pass on knowledge from me, even if it be only one sentence.''

Prophet (S.A.W) would repeat, and then the companions listened..
Listeners passed on the sayings to the absentees
No. of hadiths narrated by the following:
Abu Huraira: 5374
Abdullah bin Amr: 2630
Aisha: 2210
Anas bin Malik: 2286

Umar bin Abdul Aziz wrote to governor of Madinah to write down Prophet's (S.A.W) all traditions
Companions spread in almost all countries conquered by Muslims
There was No proper Hadith compilation..only Simple collections without any arrangement of the material
Companions Spared no pain in collecting traditions from different centers of learning

Question: Write down the main features of the 6 Sunni Hadith books?
Ans: The 6 collections of Sunni Hadis books which are also called Sahih Al-Sittah or Al-Kutub Al-Sittah are:
• Sahih AL-Bukhari: 194-256 A.H
• Sahih Muslim: 204-264 A.H
• Sunan Abu Daud: 202-275 A.H
• Sunan Tirmizi: 209-279 A.H
• Sunan Ibne Majah: 209-273 A.H
• Sunan Nisai: 214-303 A.H
Most of the Hadis contained in these six books are considered Sahih (authentic and reliable) by Scholars. Although all of the authors said they aimed to include mostly authentic Hadis, none of them claimed that they were able to gather all of the authentic Hadis therefore it is a fact that there are many authentic Hadis not contained in Al-Kutub Al-Sittah as well. The first Muslim scholar who undertook a project of composing a book to contain only authentic Hadis was Imam Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Bukhari; others followed the path that he led. It has been reported in the sources that when these books are evaluated in terms of the authenticity of the Hadis contained in them and of their sources, the books by Imam Al-Bukhari and Muslim’s work should only be precede as a general attribute; that is to say that if each Hadis be analyzed separately, different levels of authenticity can be attributed to them regardless of the book which contains them. In other words the superiority of Al-Bukhari’s Sahih or the fact that An-Nisai’s Sunan is the last one on the list, does not indicate the degree of the strength or weakness of any individual Hadis.

In all the books of Al-Kutub Al-Sittah, the Hadis are classified according to their subject matters; all the Hadis regarding a topic are gathered under similar titles. However, there are some differences amongst the authors in terms of their classification of different topics and there titles, for each of them employ their own unique methods of classification. In Al-Kutub Al-Sittah an individual authentic Hadis can be found sometimes in all of the six books, at other times in only one of them; but mostly the Hadis will be included in several of the books. An individual Hadis may or may not be repeated several times by the books.
All six authors lived in the 3rd century after the Hijra except for An-Nisai. 4 of the authors were students of Imam Al-Bukhari at one point in their carriers. That is to say almost all of them were contemporaneous and had a relation of teacher student with Imam Al-Bukhari. Virtually all of the authors wrote separate books on biographies of the narrators whom they themselves narrated the Hadis. When taken together the books comprising Al-Kutub Al-Sittah and their differing features represent the entire Hadis literature in terms of their content and methodology. Thus they complement each other in different ways: if someone wishes to find more information regarding Islamic Fiqh they can resort to Al-Bukhari’s Sahih; one wishing fewer taliqat in Hadis can go to Muslim’s Sahih: one who wishes for more information on the narration of Hadis can look it up in Tirmizi’s Jami; one who wishes to find Hadis only on Fiqh topics should consult Abu Daud’s Sunan; one who wishes to find Hadis perfect classification according to the topics in Fiqh could resort to Ibne Majah’s Sunan. Finally many of these features are simultaneously included in the Sunan of An-Nisai. None of the authors of Al-Kutub Al-Sittah were followers of a school of thought in Islamic Fiqh yet they themselves were deeply knowledgeable in Fiqh.
