Hadith Uraina : Analytical Study

Abstract

Islam is a universal religion whose teachings serve as a guiding light for people of all eras. Whether Muslim or non-believer, the success of every individual's life is concealed within Islamic teachings. However, since the beginning, opponents of Islam have engaged in propaganda to distance people from Islam or they aim to shake the faith of Muslims to the extent that they lose the sweetness of Islam. The first and foremost source of Islamic teachings is the Holy Quran, followed by the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), whose practical example is the Prophet himself. After failing in their attempts to oppose and reject the Quran, the adversaries of Islam have now targeted the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This is because, after the Quran, the most significant reliance for understanding the Quran and Islam is on the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).Hadiths are related to people's circumstances, reasons, and specific times. However, the enemies of Hadith raise objections that, upon hearing, might cause ordinary people to become distrustful of the Hadith or develop doubts and uncertainties in their hearts. The most widely accepted book of Hadith, "Sahih Bukhari," has faced several objections from critics, particularly concerning the Hadith about the tribe of Uraina or Ukl.In this context, we will explore the significance of the Hadith's chain of transmission (Isnad) and text (Matn), as well as the perspectives of Hadith commentators. Additionally, we will examine the scientific and rational aspects of the Hadith.The research methodology will be narrative, utilizing various Hadith commentaries and scientific and research-based books for reference.
