ضعیف حدیث کی معرفت ایک تحقیقی تجزیہ

An exploratory analysis of weak Hadith

Abstract

"Hadith" refers to any saying, action, statement, or attribute that is attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Hadith is the heavenly light that was bestowed upon the blessed heart of Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for the guidance of humanity, and its source was divine. Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ conveyed it through his words, actions, or approvals. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not categorize Hadith in a specific manner through his blessed tongue, nor did his companions classify his teachings into distinct categories. Later, when trials and attempts at distortion began, and efforts to introduce false concepts emerged, scholars engaged in examining the authenticity of Hadith. They scrutinized various aspects and forms of Hadith in response to the circumstances of the time. From the very beginning, this Ummah (community) has been vigilant about preserving the status of the sayings and actions of the pure personality of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. They have been committed to ensuring that no false attribution is made to his noble character. As the risk of false attributions increased, the conscientious members of this Ummah took even greater care to protect the integrity of the narration.

The knowledge of distinguishing between authentic and fabricated narrations is a significant discipline, unmatched by any other nation in the world. People who dismiss this knowledge, coming under the influence of Western Orientalists, undermine the credibility of Hadith and Sunnah, unaware of the severe damage they are causing to Islam due to their daring ignorance.
