Talk:Hadith studies

message: :A hadith with numerous transmitters at every level of the isnad (mutawatir) was deemed to be beyond doubt of forgery, while one with three or more at each level (mashhur), one with just one at a particular level (gharib), or one with one transmitter at each level (fard) was considered binding but with less weight. On these three bases, a particular hadith would be classified as sahih (sound or authentic), hasan (good), da`if (weak), or saqim (spurious).

message: What is the origin of the term "Science of Hadith"? It sounds very Western. The textual analysis that Muslim scholars apply is not a "science" as is widely understood in the Western sense (science involves looking at the world). For the Christian Bible the term uses is "exegesis" which is more accurate here. Or maybe something clarifying that "Science of Hadith" is a term of art used by Islamic scholars.

replies: text: The origin of the term 'science of hadith' is an attempt to translate into English the term ilm al-hadith.' Another translation could be 'knowledge of hadith.' The plural is often used: uloom al-hadith' which is actually the title of early books on the subject, such as that of al-Hakim al-Naysaburi. Perhaps an appropriate translation of this is 'disciplines of hadith studies' or just 'hadith studies.' It would seem that what is intended by 'science of hadith' is simply the applied study of hadith. Exegesis would not be accurate as this is only one aspect of many disciplines or categories of hadith studies of which Ibn al-Salah counted 65 in his book on the subject.

message: Is this number really correct? This would mean dozens of hadith per every single day of the Prophet's life. -- 92.229.229.83 (talk) 02:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not that number of hadith. As above, it's the number of recorded traditions, with many for each hadith. — kwami (talk) 00:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

If this is the case then maybe some of these words need editing? They seem not in the least neutral  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.217.7.85 (talk) 15:00, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Hadith studies's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:34, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

message: I wonder if it also differs within different madhabs (islamic law schools). Or do they all agree whether a hadith is authentic, good or weak. Lindeqv (talk) 11:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

message: The quotation by Sheikh Ahmad Kutty has an embedded quotation. Does the embedded quotation continue till the end of the paragraph? Also, the entire paragraph needs a citation source. If somebody knows or finds the citation for the paragraph, hopefully they will find out where the embedded quotation ends. Pete unseth (talk) 20:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

message: This is part of the banner of the page. Why? There is no separate Wikipedia page for the academic study of hadith. What would it be called, if the page "Hadith studies" is at present reserved for the religious study of hadith? This should be removed and the page should be transformed to be about hadith studies in general. Pogenplain (talk) 05:07, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
