Abstract
This paper studies the perspective of Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī(b.1951), a Pakistani modernist scholar, on the issue of the authenticity of a Ḥadīth from Bukhārī“Man ʻadaīlī waliyyan”.It concludesthat Ghāmidī has denied the referred Ḥadīth because of his personal inclination, as no one among the Imams has denied this Ḥadīth. As for the denial of al-Dhahabī is concerned,it is investigated that if he found it in Musnad Ahmad, he would not hesitate to accept it. Moreover this Ḥadīth is not only found in Bukhārī and Musnad but also in many other sources. It is ironic that not all the narrators of the Ḥadiths which Ghāmidī himself accepts are free from the interrogation.Furthermore, he him self has taken the Ḥadīths of the narrators of which Imam al-Dhahabihas questioned. He is rejecting the referred Ḥadīthon behalf of Khalid IbnMukhlid, but he himself is quoting his narration, which has even many other chain salso. All these facts speak that Ghāmidī has set his own criteria for accepting the Ḥadīths which is unknown to traditional Ḥadīth experts.
