Özet:

When we want to examine any hadith, we have to take first step is to investigate the source of that hadith. Afterwards, If it has an isnad (supporting), it is to detect whether it is valid or not. If it is really valid, we have to research whether its content is suitability with the main principles of Islam, Quran, Sunnah, reason, historical truths or etc. Definitely, as we as-sessing of an isnad (supporting); it’s very important to collect together of different rumours and ways (tariq) of hadith. We need to distinguish true and valid words and behaviours of the Holy Proph-et’s followers from the weak and fabricated one’s on understanding and living of religion. When Islamic scholars couldn’t find any solution about a problem, it’s a historical fact that they applied to views of followers. In this context, we belive that it is necessary that ‘Umar’s word about the “rain pray” (istisqa) has to be assessed in light of this process.
