PAYING ATTENTION TO THE EXCLUSION OF LEGISLATOR AND ITS IMPACT ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF HADITH

Abstract

Just as effective criteria and interpretations are required in the science of commentary to develop understanding of the Word of Allah, there are need principles and rules for understanding the Hadith. It is noteworthy that the earlier scholars of hadith sciences, although referring to the principles and rules of understanding hadith in the course of their research, did not make an independent compilation as a specific knowledge of the application of criteria for better understanding of hadith. However, in recent decades, scholars have dedicated valuable writings to the world of knowledge on independent scholarship in the jurisprudence of Hadith. In this article, based on the method of understanding the hadith by Shahid Thani, the great Islamic scholar and hadith scholar, who used Hadith in Islamic science and his method of inference in alRouzah al-Bahiah the rule “attention to the exclusion of legislator”, is scrutinized. The result is that the full obedience of all the Innocents words is not obligatory and if the legislator Imam has not mentioned a discussion and used other titles such as “Expert convention” at that time, it should not be generalized to all times and places
