Extra Rules In Hadith Science Apart From Verifying The Chain Of Narration
Quran, in additon to being the most credible book on religion, is also a source of established history from an academic standpoint. Therefore, the matters which are clearly established in Quran take precedence over individual reporting. Innocence and righteousness of Prophets is guaranteed by Quran, therefore any individual report which paints a picture otherwise will be rejected. As for the known companions of the Prophet (sws), mistakes can be committed by them, but no ill-will can be attributed to them because the Quran guarantees their piety.
