What makes a hadith authentic (sahih)?

A hadith is graded sahih when it has an unbroken chain of upright, precise narrators, free from hidden defects or contradiction with stronger evidence. Scholars of hadith developed a rigorous science to distinguish authentic narrations from weak or fabricated ones.
