| description |
Hadith is a uniquely Islamic discipline and of the utmost importance not only
to Islamic thought, but also to Islamic culture and civilization. It is in this vein
that `Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak said that isnad (chain of transmission) is a part
of the religion. While most studies on Hadith literature in western scholarship
focus on the issue of authenticity, the hadith scholars’ method of determining
what is a basis for belief and practice, as well as that method’s historical
development, have been regretfully overlooked. The author’s The Development
of Early Sunnite Hadith Criticism: The Taqdima of Ibn Abi Hatim al-
Razi (240/854-327/938) proposes to fill in some of those gaps.
Chapter 1, “Hadith in the Time of Ibn Abi Hatim,” provides the setting
for Ibn Abi Hatim’s career. The two main factions of Islamic thought in the
third Islamic century were the adherents of hadith (ahl al-hadith) and their
rivals (ahl al-ra’y). Dickinson introduces two approaches to hadith: the
commentator (ahl al-ra’y) and the critic (ahl al-hadith). The commentator
accepted the canon as it was and treated it as though it were closed. Any contradictions
were dealt with through interpretation. The critic, however, manipulated
the canon’s boundaries and removed any objectionable material
(p. 7) by using the “objective criteria of hadith criticism” (p. 1) ...
