Narrators Memorized Thousands of Hadiths: Analytical Critical Study

Abstract

Research Topic: The study highlights the legal rulings related to the family and their role in promoting This study addresses one of the most important topics related to the preservation of the noble Sunnah, which is the preservation of thousands of hadiths by some narrators. The transmission and narration of hadiths relied on memorization from both the heart and the written word. The aim of the study was to clarify the reality of the memorization of thousands of hadiths by some narrators, as many of them would memorize thousands of hadiths. The study sought to compare the narrations and distinguish the authentic from the weak, which could only be achieved if these narrations were present in the memory. The analytical method was followed in this study, where I analyzed the information related to the topic of narrators memorizing thousands of hadiths, based on the scientific principles of hadith science.

      The study concluded that the memorization of thousands of hadiths by narrators was indeed a reality. Hadith scholars consider any chain of narration that differs in the names of certain narrators as independent hadith. This explains the existence of thousands of hadiths. When some skeptics of the noble Sunnah ignored these matters, they criticized and doubted the existence of such a vast number of hadiths and the possibility of memorizing such a large number of them.
