“An Investigation into the Evolution of the Work to Hadith in the 2nd and 3rd Centuries AH”

It is important to examine the events of the second and third centuries AH due to the emergence of many basic issues of Islam.

After the death of the Prophet of Islam for various reasons, including the lack of writing the hadith due to the lack of mixing of the hadith with the Qur’an and the influence of the cultural and political power of the caliphs, many people ignored the documentary hadith that goes back to the Prophet; Of course, this negligence can be found in reasons such as the influence of the political power of the caliphs and the good suspicion that the people had towards the caliphs; However, the escalation of differences on various issues and the influence of rationalism on Islam made the spread of rationalism more popular among the people; In such an atmosphere, Shafi’i defined the tradition and devoted the tradition to the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad, in order to reduce differences.

The general public took the Islamic tradition from the actions of caliphs and companions; High trust in the Companions and their followers caused them to know the effect and hadiths of the Companions and their followers to be absolutely correct, and they did not see the need for the hadith to return to Prophet Muhammad; In this atmosphere, the work was considered as an Islamic tradition, but with the traditional atmosphere that Shafi’i presents, it seems that considering that 200 years have been neglected in the hadith documented by the words of the Messenger of God, one of the speculations that the space is missing the hadith created by Prophet Muhammad is as follows: Many of the works (actions and sayings of the caliphs and companions) in the formation of hadith societies have been attributed to Prophet Muhammad.The present study has been organized to examine the issue in detail by referring to the works and sources of various sciences of Muslim thinkers as well as related narrations.
