منزلة الحديث الضعيف ظاهرا المنجبر حكما و قرائن جبره

Abstract EN

The present study investigates the weak hadith that does not meet the requirement of acceptability but can be authenticated from another narration.

It involves both the theoretical aspects of the concept presented in hadith books as wells as the practical aspects in Sahih books and hadith narrators' books.

The researcher raises the following question: Is the hadith narrated by the weak narrators whose narration has been accredited authentic or not? To answer this question, hadith scholars are classified according to the degree of the acceptance of their narration.

The study revealed that there is a discrepancy between the theortical descrption of the weak hadith that can be authenticated and the real practice by the hadith scholars.The pratical concept of the narrated hadith authentication is different from the general concept of the narrator's authentication.

What is required in hadith authentication is to confirm the authenticity of the narrated rather than the narrator.

This study concludes that the methodology followed by the early scholars is the reliable guarantee for the accurate understanding of the process of authentication.
