An Analysis And Critisize On Isnads Of Hadith: “Seventy Thousand People Will Go To Heaven Without Questioning From My Followers”

Hadiths who transmitted sayings and behaviors of prophet Mohammad maintained its importance during history of Islam. Especially, some Muslims who lived in the first three centuries exerted a great effort for transmiting hadiths to the next generations. In these first three centuries, the world of Islam expanded with conquests and the Muslims began to live together with people of different religions and cultures. At the same time, some social and political splits in opinion occured among the Muslims and some movements on fabricating hadith for a variety of reasons began. Therefore, The Hadith collectors made an effort to receiving hadiths from reliable tansmitters and transmitting them to the next generation. Thus, the tradition of transmitting hadiths with its isnads was born. On the other hand, the rijâl books which determine the trustworthiness of the hadith narrators, were written. Now, we have a possibility to determine whether a word is a Hadith, under favour of these sanads (narrator bond) and books which enable us to critisize the narrators who are there in the sanads. This is continuation of previous article An Analysis and Critısize on Isnads of Hadith: “Seventy Thousand People Will Go to Heaven Without Questioning From My Followers.” The aim of this study is to analyze the isnads of Hadith in the previous article.
