The former relates to the narration or transmission and the latter relates to the text of the Ḥadīth. The noble scholars of Ḥadīth have verified the Prophetic traditions by principles that consider both, cognition and transmission of these narrations. However, some contemporary scholars are of the view that Aḥadīth are only verified in terms of their transmission and the cognition or reasonableness of the text remains yet to be verified, but this opinion is incorrect. Verification of Ḥadtīh with respect to its transmission refers to the validation or verification of its chain of narration primarily, whereas the verification with respect to its cognition means to observe if the meaning is appealing logically and in conformity to Qur’ānic meaning or not. The cognitive principles that are put forward by some of these contemporary scholars are not those of Muḥaddithīn, because the principles of Muḥaddithīn are already transcribed in their books of Usūl al-Ḥadīth (Principles of Ḥadīth) and they are not part of them. In the view of Muḥaddithīn, the principles those are applicable |
