ثلاثيات و رباعيات الإمام الطبراني : دراسة نقدية

Abstract EN

Al-Imam al-Tabarani, may Allah have mercy on him, is one of those who preserved the Islamic religion by writing down the prophetic hadiths.

Among the hadiths that he collected, both in terms of transmission and performance, there are seven hadiths distinguished by the ascendance of their Isnad (chain of transmission).

Three of these hadiths have three narrators in their Isnad, while four of them have four narrators.

To highlight the ascendant Isnad of these hadiths in terms of transmission and performance, some of hadith scholars have written these hadiths down in a separate booklet.

Therefore, they have been circulated in the hadith transmission sessions while many hadith scholars have not been acquainted with their authenticity level and the status of their narrators.

So, I have decided to carry out a critical study on these hadiths.

In this study, it has been concluded that the Thulathiyat have been narrated by al-Imam al-Tabarani in his three hadith books (Al-Ma’ajim) in spite of being weak hadiths.

One of them is unfamiliar (Gharib), the second one cannot make use of Shawahid (textually-related hadiths) due to their weakness and the accusations levelled at their narrators, and the third one is a good hadith by the virtue of another hadith according to the approach of those who strengthen and raise the level of hadiths depending on Shahid (textually-related hadith).

It has also been concluded that Ruba’iyat have been narrated by al-Imam al-Tabarani only in his (al-Mu’jam al-Kabir).

These hadith are Sahih (authentic), their narrators are trustworthy and among them are some whose narrations have been adopted in the two Sahih (Sahih Muslim and Sahih Al-Bukhari).

Some of these hadiths are Mutawatir (continuously recurrent) while others have a Shahid either in the two Sahih or one of them.
