دقة الضبط عند المحدثين لأسماء الرواة

Abstract

Accepting Hadith of the Prophet is the greatest approach that humanity has planned in its religious and scientific journey. Our scholars have set precise rules, principles and laws for accepting a narrated hadith and a hadith is not accepted if it does not meet that criteria. A hadith is accepted after thorough examination and scrutiny to preserve the authenticity of Hadith as they are words of our Prophet Muhammad. Hadith scholars have tirelessly strived to develop and contribute to this science.
Hadith scholars have contributed greatly in setting the names of the narrators, their nicknames and their surnames.
This study aims to show the efforts that scholars of hadith have made in this aspect. To achieve that, the researcher uses the tracing and induction approach, and then the analytical approach to clarify the connotation and to present the true picture of how our imams and scholars have applied the highest scientific methods to set, examine and maintain the names of the narrators. The study also discusses the greatness and status of the process of setting the names of the narrators, and how scholars have singled out books with all the details about the names, nicknames and surnames of the narrators and what has been agreed or disagreed on. The researcher concludes The study reaches a number of findings, the most prominent of which is the determined efforts and patience and the great commitment of the scholars in this field. The researcher recommends to look into and demonstrate the accurate methodological approaches that accompanied the process of criticism, vouching and discrediting the narrators as well as the strength of perception among Muslim scholars in examining the Sunnah and its narratives and narrators, and their determination and efforts to preserve Sunnah.
