WHY DO MUHADDITHEEN CRITICISE? BY IMAM IBN ATHIR (D. 606 A.H)


الفرع الثاني: في جواز الجرح ووقوعه (2)

قد عاب بعضُ من لا يفهم على أهل الحديث الكلام في الرجال، لأنهم

لم يقفوا على الغرض من ذلك، ولا أدركوا المقصد فيه، وإنما حمل أصحاب الحديث على الكلام في الرجال، وتعديل من عدَّلوا، وجرح من جرحوا، الاحتياط في أمور الدين، وحراسة قانونه، وتمييز مواقع الغلط والخطأ في هذا الأصل الأعظم الذي عليه مبنى الإسلام وأساس الشريعة.
ولا يُظَنّ بهم أنهم أرادوا الطعن في الناس والغيبة والوقيعة فيهم، ولكنهم بيَّنوا ضعف من ضعفوه، لكي يُعرف فتُجتنب الرواية عنه والأخذ بحديثه، تورعًا وحِسبة وتثبتًا في أمر الدين، فإن الشهادة في الدين أحق وأولى أن يُتَثَبَّتَ فيها من الشهادة في الحقوق والأموال، فلهذا افترضوا على أنفسهم الكلام في ذلك وتبيين أحوال الناس، وهو من الأمور المتعينة العائدة بالنفع العظيم في أصول الدين.
قال ابن سيرين: كانوا في الزمن الأول لا يسألون عن الإسناد، فلما وقعت الفتن سألوا عن الإسناد، ليأخذوا حديث أهل السنة، ويدعوا حديث أهل البدع، فإن
القوم كانوا أصحاب حفظ وإتقان، ورُبَّ رجل وإن كان صالحًا، لا يقيم الشهادة ولا يحفظها.
وكل من كان متهمًا بالكذب في الحديث، أو كان مغفلاً يُخطئ كثيرًا، فالذي اختاره أهل العلم من الأئمة: أن لا (1) يُشتغل بالرواية عنه.
وقد تكلم جماعة من أهل الحديث في جماعة من أكابر العلماء، وضعفوهم

من قبل حفظهم، ووثقهم آخرون لجلالتهم وصدقهم، وإن كانوا قد وَهِمُوا في بعض ما رووا، ألا ترى أن الحسن البصري وطاوسًا قد تكلما في معبد الجُهَنِّي (1) وتكلم سعيد بن جبير في طَلْق بن حبيب (2) . وتكلم إبراهيم النخعي وعامر الشعبي في الحارث الأعور (3) .
وكذلك أيوب السختياني، وعبد الله بن عون، وسليمان التيمي، وشعبة بن الحجاج، وسفيان الثوري، ومالك بن أنس، والأوزاعي، وعبد الرحمن بن مهدي، ويحيى بن سعيد القطان، ووكيع بن الجراح، وعبد الله بن المبارك، وغير هؤلاء من أئمة الحديث والفقه قد تكلموا في الرجال وضعفوهم.

وعلى ذلك جاء الناس بعدهم، ما زالوا يتكلمون في الرجال ليعرفوا.
كيف والمسلمون مجمعون على أنه لا يجوز الاحتجاج في أحكام الشريعة إلا بحديث الصدوق العاقل الحافظ؟ فيكفي هذا مبيحًا لجرح من ليس هذا صفته، وتبيين حاله، ليُعلم عمن تؤخذ الأدلة، وتُتَلَقَّى الرواية.

The Jarh of Bukhari 'Feehi Nazr' explained by Shaykh Kifayatullah Sanabali

The Following is an abridged and slightly modified  translation from Shaykh Kifayatullah's risalah in his Majallah but also taken/ based on shaykh albani's tashreeh [http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63360]

Shaykh Kifayatullah hafidhahullah begins saying that some muhadditheen have taken the jarh of Imam bukhari (i.e. Feehi Nazr/Nadhr) to mean that the narrator about whom Bukhari says that , he was severely weak and matrook near him. Whereas other Muhadditheen have opined otherwise.

The doubtful words of transmission in a sanad

The Science of Sanad is very intrinsic and a meticulous study. A short example displaying its meticulousness is the following paragraph that reflects the keen eye of the muhadditheen
--------------------

Al-Imamul Muslimeen Majd ud-deen al-Jazary ibn al-Athir (D. 606 A.H) said : 

 وللإسناد أوضاع واصطلاح وشرائط. فمن شروطه

Isnad has positions, terms, and conditions and from the conditions are :

فمن شروطه: أن لا يكون في الإسناد: أُخْبِرْت عن فلان، ولا حُدِّثت، ولا بَلَغَني، ولا رَفَعه فلان، ولا أظنه مرفوعًا، إنما يرويه المحدِّث عن شيخ يُظْهِر
سماعه منه والسن يحتمله، وكذلك سماع شيخه عن شيخه، إلى أن يصل الإسناد إلى صحابي مشهور، إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -.

Isnad should not contain (the following words as they reflect a degree of doubt on the one who is narrating and do not amount to certainty):

(i) I was told about so and so (Ukhbirt `an fulaan), 
(ii)  I was told (Huddithat),
(iii)  It reached me (Balaghani), [1] 
(iv) so and so ascribed elevated it or attributed it to the Messenger (Raf`a Fulaan) 

However, a narrator should narrate it from a shaykh from whom he heard the Hadeeth (mostly directly) and the lifetime of the narrator corresponds with the lifetime of the shaykh (i.e. both are alive when he hears the narration from that shaykh) Likewise, the hearing of a shaikh from his shaykh (teacher) until the chain of transmission reaches a famous Sahabi and then to the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam)........(cont)

[Ref: Jami` al-Usul fi Ahadeeth ar-rasool 1/107] 

A good book based on 3 main sections 

Ar-rukn al-Awwal - Introduction
Ar-rukn ath-thaani - the benefits 
Ar-Ruk ath-Thaalith - Conclusion 

each section has a variety of sub-chapter discussing what the name of the book describes perfectly i.e the compilation of the principles (to be known) in (studying) the prophetic traditions 

[1] Notice that when someone says Ballighani i.e it reached me that the prophet said such and such , the degree of affirmity automatically is suspected because we all know that to attribute something to the prophet we need a chain of narration . If someone say for e.g 200 years after the prophet's death says it has reached me that the prophet did such and such, the very first question that would come to mind is "How did this reach him, via whom? is the chain authentic? is it verified? "

BRIEFLY EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT SAYINGS ON THE UNDERLYING CONDITIONS IN ACCEPTING A JARH OR TA`DEEL



The Acceptance of Jarh and Ta'deel if it is Done with Explanation or Without
Meaning, if the person who does Jarh or Ta'deel, is it a must that he must explains his position, without him giving the reasons why.
Taken from the book 'Principles in Jarh wa Ta'deel' by Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin Muhammad Abdul-Lateef [May Allaah have Mercy on him], (Pg. 53-56).
Shaykh Abdullah bin Abdur-Raheem al-Bukhaaree [May Allaah Preserve him] said in explaining this;
The person doing Jarh or Ta'deel can do either of the following;
Tafseer; this is when he gives the reason for Jarh or Ta'deel
Mubham; this means there is no reason given for his Jarh or Ta'deel
The author continues;
