Abstract

This research is an attempt to trace the origins of the psychological hadith of the Prophet, which is the information about what is in the soul of the Prophet ﷺ. Also, it highlights its relationship with both of the narration of hadith in its meaning and Hadith’ Maudu (Fabricated). The importance of this research lies in the fact that it is a defense of the prophetic hadith and a denunciation of lying about the Prophet ﷺ. The research aims to introduce the psychological hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, to know what is acceptable and rejected among it, and its relationship with fabricated hadith, and to determine the reasons behind its popularity and impacts. In this research, three methods were adopted: inductive, analytical, and critical, taking the book (Kitab Fihi Ma Fihi) by Jalal al-Din al-Rumi (d. 672 AH) as an applied model for critical study. The research concluded that the classification of psychological Hadith vary between the highest levels of acceptance, such as the Mutawatir, and the lowest levels of rejection, such as the fabricated, and it classified the most important reasons for its popularity as following: The tolerance in talking about the prophetic biography, the creative styles in which it is narrated, and the concealment of the psychological hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, and its circulation in the speech of scholars. The research, also, highlighted its important impacts which are allowing liars to lying about the prophet ﷺ, attributing prosaic speech to him, attributing inappropriate thoughts to him, diminishing his prestige in the hearts of the public, and opening the door to those who challenge him and his purified Sunnah. The research recommended the importance of studying the psychological hadith in the books of the Prophetic biography, and with careful research of hadiths that are fabricated in the books of Sufism.
