Difference between ‘Al Marfu’ and ‘Al Mawquf’

Could you tell me the difference between a ‘mawquf’ (موقوف) and ‘marfu’ (مرفوع) Hadith?

Answer:

Al Marfu’ refers to that narration in which the statements, actions, approvals or qualities (shamail) are attributed to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

Al Mawquf refers to a narration in which the statements or actions are attributed to a Sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu).

(Refer: Sharhun Nukhbah and Ibnus Salah, pg. 45-46)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
