CRITIC ON CHAIN AND CONTRADICTIONS IN PRINCIPLES & METHODOLOGIES OF ORIENTALISTS
Abstract
Towards the end of the 20th century the study of ḥadīth has made considerable progress and received increasing attention in both Muslim and Western worlds.The role of ḥadīth has grasped the attention of orientalists who sought to identify the origins of Islām and its legal and religious institutions. The question of authenticity and authority was at the heart of their investigations. Until the end of the first half of the 20th century,two major leading scholars; namely Goldziher and Schacht, were the only prominent figures who subjected the Traditions to historical criticism which were very much inspired by the development in criticaltextual studies and source-criticism methods witnessed. Later on many other prominent orientalists followed them. But there are many points where their point of view is contradict to other researchers and even some times to their own theories. This article is a research based subject which describes various contradictions of western ḥadīth scholars regarding the criticism of the chain of ḥadīth/Sanad.
