The most authentic chains of transmission and the reality of the narration: A foundational critical study

Abstract

The term “the most authentic chains of transmission” is an old term, and the early scholars themselves differed in explaining the most authentic chains of transmission, and they and the later ones in the passports say “the most authentic chains of transmission” absolutely.

By comparing the two groups, the researcher tends to believe in the correctness of what the predecessors said, based on the statements of the critics, and the reality of the narration in the most famous books of Hadith arranged according to chapters; because the narration is evidence of knowledge, and because the books of chapters are more useful than the books of biographies, from a jurisprudential point of view.

The study concluded that these transmission chains can be divided into four sections: the most reliable transmission chains (the highest transmission chains), the most restricted transmission chains, the most reliable transmission chains (the highest transmission chains), and a section that does not meet the reliability conditions set by the researcher.

The result was (16) sixteen chains of transmission, which can undoubtedly be considered among the most authentic, while the rest are doubtful. Thus, the study's findings fall short of those who identified the most authentic chains.
