Description
Keep first-occurrence order of exact number strings and return zero-based positions of every later repetition.
Source-scoped cultural and historical records preserve an edition, naming convention, or local identifier. Literal agreement is useful bookkeeping but does not establish interpretation, authenticity, or authority.
Keep first-occurrence order of exact number strings and return zero-based positions of every later repetition.
When to use this tool
Use Hadith Repeat Number Marker when you need a precise source-token or range consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter numbers. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read uniqueNumbers, repeatedPositions. Use the output convention below.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Textually different numbering forms remain distinct; no report identity, edition concordance, or authenticity is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
