Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of ʿIllat Idraj, one of the subjects in the science of hadith, which refers to a hidden defect involving the insertion of the narrator’s own wording into the text of a hadith, thus causing confusion between the narrator’s words and the original text of the hadith. Idraj constitutes a form of ʿillah that can undermine the quality of a hadith, rendering a narration that appears authentic to actually be weak upon deeper examination. This study explains the definition, classification, and impact of ʿIllat Idraj in determining the authenticity status of hadiths. Examples of hadiths with ʿIllat Idraj are provided to clarify this phenomenon. The method employed is library research, involving critical analysis of both the chain of transmission (isnad) and the content (matan). The findings indicate that understanding ʿIllat Idraj is crucial for verifying the quality of hadiths and for advancing scientific methodology in hadith research.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the sources of hadith within the Shia tradition, focusing on major hadith collections such as al-Kafi and Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih. The methodology of hadith evaluation in the Shia tradition is examined in depth and compared with the Sunni tradition of source criticism. This research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis methods applied to primary and secondary literature related to Shia hadith collections. The findings reveal significant differences in the methodology of hadith criticism between Shia and Sunni traditions, particularly regarding the concepts of ‘adalah (narrator’s integrity), isnad (chain of transmission), and the authority of narration. The Shia tradition places special emphasis on narrations from Ahl al-Bayt and the doctrine of the infallibility of the Imams, which distinguishes it from the Sunni perspective. The study concludes that, despite fundamental methodological differences, both traditions demonstrate scholarly rigor in ensuring the authenticity of hadith as a source of Islamic law, albeit through distinct epistemological approaches.
