Abstract:

            The Prophet's religious authority, as in his health, continued after his death. This authority, which is accepted by the vast majority of Muslims, has occasionally been questioned by some individuals and groups. The opposition of the hadith, which is rejected or restricted the religious authority of the hadeeth, emerged from the early stages of Islam. In this article, the reasons for the hadith opposition seen in the first Islamic centuries were held. We discussed this very important issue in the relevant part of our doctoral dissertation. Although nearly thirty years have passed, the subject is still up to date. In the light of new information and the new tests, we have concluded to revaluate the subject once again. In this article, the reasons of the hadith opposition are examined under the main headings and with many examples. Not only the evidence and the examples are presented in the article, but also these examples have been tried to analyze psychologically the causes of emergence of negative attitude towards the hadith in the people living in these periods. Thus, the reader will have reached a level of knowledge about the characteristics of the period. In the context of hadith, it appears that as of today and throughout the history, there will be people or groups opposing the hadiths in the future. However, it can be hypothisized that they will remain marginal but active.
