Abstract

The world of hadiths narration and distribution is a mystic one, attracting quite a few scholars. The deep concepts of the hadiths are too attractive to be ignored by the religious scholars. On the other hand, the extensiveness of this field, at times, has led to the confusion and quandary of the interlocutors, since some of the hadiths are sometimes textually contradictory to the fundamentals and the text of Quran, and sometimes defects have been manifest in their document that prevent admission of the text of hadith. However, the mere existence of a weakness in a hadith, in the first look, cannot lead to its overall weakness and irrelevance, since such a negligence and oversimplification would lead to the loss of a huge part of the hadiths and even their sources. It indicates the necessity of addressing the subject of the current study. The meticulous exploration and research efforts for revealing the truth and finding the defects of weak hadiths, directed the author of the current study to a new subject that might be considered innovative and new, which is the solution to the some of the weak hadiths problems. So far, the scholars judged a hadith to be weak, merely on the basis of finding some defects in the text or document of it, however, in the current study, besides putting the similar hadiths together, it was tried to find a solution for obviation of the weaknesses of some of them- which may look weak and irrelevant in the first look- through comparing and contrasting them, as well as finding the reasons behind this weakness. The results of the current study showed that there are numerous correct and citable hadiths in the sources, that seemed to be weak in the first look, and thus neglected by the scholars and interlocutors. The current study is of library-based type.
