Abstract

Abu Hanifah paid scant attention to solitary ahadith, let alone ahadith as such, is not correct. The fact is that he employed only those ahadith which he considered to be in agreement with the stronger evidence of the Qur’an and the other better authenticated ahadith. In other words, Abu Hanifah’s rejection of many solitary ahadith was on grounds that they did not meet the criteria for the acceptance of ahadith which he considered necessary in assessing their authenticity. Abu Hanifah preferred those solitary ahadith which ware reported by rawis known to have the religions and moral qualities expressed by the term ‘adalah and the intellectual capacity called dabt to the decisions arrived at by recourse to qiyas. Another important point is that there was considerable disagreement among the jurists of the early centuries of Islam, even among the jurists of the same madhhab, as regards the ways of assessing the authenticity of ahadith as a source of legal doctrines
