Özet:

In the third century after the Prophet migration (Hijra) two great works (al-Bukhari & Muslim) emerged, and both took the canonical position in Muslim community, due to their methodology and contents. On the other hand it drew the attention of hadith Muslim and non-Muslim critics to examine their contents, and some critics totally refused their canonical position while others challenged their authenticity by purporting various flaws in both canonical collections. But the case for my study is the indulgence of Muslim in Mutabiat and Shawahid beside application of western approach to hadith literature. In this paper, I tried to evaluate the aforementioned claim by analysing an instance of Muslim’s collection (Sahih Muslim) that he narrated in Mutabi’at, and it contains on addition, which circulated as an instance of his indulgence.
