Abstract:

In Kadi Iyad's book named Al Shifa Bi-Tarifi Huquqil Mostapha, there are many useful hints about the life and personal appearance of the Messenger of Allah (pbh); nevertheless he included in his work some weak and fabricated hadiths, though small in number. Pointing out these hadiths, Imam Al- Zahabi said: "The compilations of Kadi Iyad are pretty good, of which the most precious and illustrious is his Al Shifa; if only he would not include fabricated hadiths in his work." Imam Al-Suyuti, in his work named menâhilüs’s-safâ fî tahrîcî ehâdîsi’ş-şifâ’, analyzed and identified the sound, problematic and weak aspects of the hadiths in the aforesaid book. In his work, Imam Al-Suyuti analyzed and found more than three thousand and three hundred hadiths, most of which is sound and good. He says about "the hadiths in Al Shifa that some are weak, some are fabricated and for some I could not find the chain of reporters." In this study, we have given a short biography of Kadi Iyad and we have dealt with the hadiths that Imam Al-Suyuti identified as fabricated or that any scholar told them being fabricated
