Problems of interpreting the main types of hadith in terms of their correct understanding

Abstract

Relevance. This study provides traditional insights into the hadith and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad as an important source of Islamic religion and Muslim culture in general. All the Prophet's activities are covered by the Sunnah, which was, remains and will remain one of the main sources of Muslim law, secondary solely to the Holy Koran.Purpose. The purpose of the study was to conduct a systematic analysis of the stages of hadith study based on Sheikh Abdullah Harare's theology and to draw attention to the complexity of the science of hadith.Methodology. The methodology for analysing the veracity and accuracy of the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad involves a set of specific procedures and activities.Results. This study covers topics such as the concept of hadith, its meaning, hadith teaching and distribution, recording, the Isnad system, criticism of hadith, the classification of scholars and its impact on the classification of hadith, fabrication of hadith, etc. The types of hadith in terms of the credibility of the chain of transmitters and the authenticity of the texts were investigated. Each type of hadith is unique. Thus, every scholar, theologian, orientalist and ordinary reader of the hadith before diving into this science must be more or less familiar with it unless he wants to go down the wrong path.Conclusions. People have always distorted texts when passing them on or translating them to one another. Sometimes these distortions occurred unintentionally and sometimes deliberately. The science of hadith helps to clearly assess each individual expression attributed to the Prophet Muhammad in terms of its veracity. The task of hadith scholars is to determine the truth of hadith. Only after examining the biographies of the people mentioned in the Isnad (chain of transmissions) to convince them of their positive moral and intellectual qualities it is possible to judge the authenticity of a particular hadith.
