The Refined Hadiths of Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in his Book "Taghliq Al-Taaliq"

Acritical inductive study

Abstract

Objectives: To indicate the scholarly value of the book "Taghliq Al-Taaliq", and to read and critically study the hadiths that have been refined by Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar to know what methodology had been used by Al-Hafiz in refining, and to clarify the extent of his agreement and disagreement with the imams in his teachings and judgments.

The research adopted an inductive, analytical and critical methodology; and arranged the collected hadiths according to the chapters of the book.

Main Findings and Recommendations of the Research: -The status of Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar and the scholarly value of his book has been revealed. He praised the book himself, so did his sheikhs and disciples. His method for refining the hadiths, which has totalled 13, in his book has been also shown. Some of the hadiths are good for themselves, some are good for others, and some are justifiable and not proven, totalled 6.

The study recommends the importance of checking and investigating before verifying the hadiths. The study recommends to differentiate between the judgment on the chain of transmission and the judgment on the hadith itself. It also recommends the need to know the imams’ approaches to their judgment on hadiths and their critical terms.
