Muslims derive the laws that govern them from many sources. The Qur’an is the

most important source of law for the Muslims, followed by the Hadith. Hadith is the

compilation of the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad and his companions. The

companions were the students of Prophet Muhammad. These compilations have been

passes down many generations up to the present. Many scholars have tried to expound

on the hadith throughout history. Their writings have also been included in the hadith.

However, some hadiths are not authentic because their writers either altered their

original meanings or falsified some facts. This discussion therefore looks into the efforts

of scholars in trying to distinguish between the true hadiths from the fabricated ones in

order to prevent the Muslims from being misled.

The science of hadith

The hadith is divided into two parts. The first part includes the words and deeds

of Prophet Muhammad and his companions (matn) while the other part contains the

chain of transmitters of the information from Prophet Muhammad through many

generations (isnad). Muslims look at the chain of transmitters in determining what text

are authentic. Each hadith has the text, the chain of reporters and the first sentence of

the text (taraf).
