مصطلح "لم يكن صاحب حديث" ودلالاته عند النقاد: جمعا ودراسة

Abstract EN

The study deals with the description of the scholars of Al-Jarh and Al-Ta’deel to some of the hadith narrators that he was not a hadith collector and the like.

The pioneer who devised the term to be used for the hadith narrators is Ayyoub B Abi Tamimah and he meant by the term that the narrator does not seem to be engaged with the science of Hadith to the effect that his deeds of worship and righteousness superseded him to his engagement with hadith study, this is what made him prone to mistakes in hadith narration.

his hadith is not deemed correct, then a group of hadith scholars followed him, among them was: Abu Bakr B Ayyash, the latter used it to mean the weakness of the narrator, Yahya B Saeed AlQattan used it in two places.

in one of the two he intended the weakness of the narrator due to his engagement to other sciences than Hadith and in the other he meant the severity of the weakness and alienness of the narration.

Sufyan B uyyanal also used the term to mean.

The narrator is not well-known with the science of hadith, rather he found some books and narrated from them, Yahya B Mu’in, and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal extensively would use it but on multiple meanings, then other critics happened to keep on using it following them more likely in previous meanings, and the country in which this term was used mostly is Iraq , It got widespread in broader extent in Baghdad, Basra, Kufa, and Mosul, and they have several goals in their usage to it either to indicate that the narrator is not one of the scholars of hadith and its seeker, or to demonstrate the weakness of the narrator, or that he is trustworthy but not expert in the science of Al-Jarh wat-Tadil and other things that are mentioned in the research.
