Evidence of Giving Priority to the Hadith Associated with Mentioning the Reason over Other Hadiths: An Empirical Study

Abstract

       The study thoroughly examined the presumption of giving precedence to hadiths that mention their reasons over other hadiths. The primary objective of the study was to elucidate the underlying concepts, jurisprudential rulings, and practical applications pertinent to the topic. To fulfill the study's aims, the researchers utilized a combination of inductive and deductive methodologies to explore the assumptions underlying the prioritization process and to analyze the relevant texts. The study was geared toward achieving a comprehensive understanding of the results within the context of the examined topic. The study yielded several findings, one of which is that the presumption of prioritizing hadiths that cite a reason over those that do not is categorized within the domain of generality and specificity. Nevertheless, the principle is broad and is applicable to all individuals encompassed by the rationale stated within the rule. Numerous jurisprudential applications and rulings are derived from this principle, which are founded on hadiths that are tied to specific reasons.
