3 ways to preserve Hadith:
1) Verbal – memorization
2) Written
3) Practical demonstration
Verbal
• The most encouraged way by the prophet
• The process: The prophet say the Hadith-the Companions-tell to other Sahabahs who not present
• Most of the Sahabah used this way to preserve Hadith
WrittenWritten A Hadith reported by Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
“Do not write from me anything except the Qur’an and whosoever has written anything from me other than the Qur’an should erase it.”
Reasons: i. Most of the Sahabah had strong memoryii. Afraid that the possibility of mixture between
Quran & Hadith iii. The Prophet wanted Sahabah to focus more
on the Quran & it preservation
Era of the companions
All caliphs were very concerned related to Hadith: Caliph Abu Bakr r.a- reporter of hadith must bring
an independent witness as a proof- not fabricate hadith
Caliph Umar r.a-imprisoned some companions- traditional extremists eg: Ibn Mas’ud, Abu Darda’ and Abu Mas’ud al-ansari.
Caliph Ali r.a- reporter need to prove some oath-not lie about the hadith of Prophet.
sahabah: Abu Hurairah r.a-narrated 5374 ahadith

compiled by many scholars at the Tabeen for example; Kitab Khalid bin Maidan, Kutb Hasan Bisri,

REACTIONS OF THE SCHOLARS
• End of the period of the Companions- opposing parties and sects emerged, insincere hadith students increased.
• Critical period of hadith fabrication.• Prominent scholars traveled through Muslim world,
search for authentic sayings. • Used careful methods to determine what was
actually said and made up.• Starting from this point, ‘sciences of hadith’ was
developed.
SCIENCES OF HADITH
• The process Muslims scholars use to evaluate hadith.
• This science concerned with the sanad and matn, to distinguish the sahih/authentic from other than it.
• The verification of each isnad is crucial- used to verify the intentional fabrication of ahadith by various sects, in order to support their views.
MUSTALAH AL-HADITH
• The rules regulating the acceptance of ahadith are known as Mustalah al-Hadith (the Classification of Hadith).
• Mustalah books put number of classes of hadith according to their status: according to the reference to a particular
authority.according to the links in the isnadaccording to the number of reporters involved in
each stage of the isnad
according to the manner in which the hadith has been reported
according to the nature of the matn and isnadaccording to a hidden defect found in the isnad
or text of a hadithaccording to the reliability and memory of the
reporters
RIJAL AL-HADITH
• The study of the reporters of hadith.• Acc. to Ibn Majah, this science is very
important- used to publicize to the whole Islamic community the character of those responsible for forgery, or for incompetent and incorrect reporting.
AL-KUTUB AL-SITTA
• Name given to the six hadith books that contain collections of the most authentic (reliable) hadiths.
• Significant- constitute the content of the prophetic sunnah, one of the two most important sources of the Islamic religion.
• Two works of Jami’ al-Sahih by al-Bukhari and Muslim- purpose is collecting only sahih(authentic) hadith; as well as the four books of Sunan that belong to Abu Davud, Tirmidhi, Nasaai, and Ibn Majah.
• Fabricated hadith have been compiled into separate books by the scholars after they conducted through and effective classification studies.
• Examples of fabricated hadith: "Seek knowledge even if it is in China“-may
have been fabricated to encourage learning.
"I was born in the time of the just king." This was fabricated to exalt the Persian king Anushirwan.
"Abu Hanifa is the lamp of my nation". It must have been fabricated for sectarian considerations.
"Cleanliness comes from belief." The meaning is true, but it was not reported from the Messenger through a sound chain of transmission. Instead, he said: "Purity (in body, mind, and heart) is half of belief, and al-hamdu li-llah (all praise be to God) fills up the balance (where the good deeds will be weighed)."
