Abstract

The aim of this research is to highlight the discrepancy in the evidence for the judgement of the narrator and the narration between Imam al-Tirmidhi in his "Al-Jami’" and Sheikh Ahmed Shakir in his investigation of Al- Jami’. The content is divided into requirements, each of which deals with the study of a selected example from the chapters of Purity and Prayer. The study led to numerous findings most notably: that al-Tirmidhi was a contemporary of the era of narration, so he was familiar with its realities and circumstances, sitting with imams and learning from Sheikhs of the time. So, like them, he became famous for his imamate, his inductive approach, his compiling and detailed investigation. However, Ahmed Shaker lived in the 14th century after the sunnah was compiled, narrations were selected and authenticated, judgements were settled, and books were written. So, it is believed he chose an approach based on selection and transfer from previous scholars. His efforts are undeniable for those who are familiar with his investigations of narration and hadith books like Musnad Ahmed and al-Tirmidhi’s Al-Jami’ as well as his explanation of Ibn Kathir's 'Uloom al-Hadith. He agreed with al-Tirmidhi on most comments and disagreed with him on some others. In points of disagreement, Sheikh Ahmed Shaker based his investigation on looking into the apparent conditions of narrators, and in most of these points, he found Imam Tirmidhi to be right.
