Abstract:

Delusion/mistake in the eyes of the scholars of hadith The Takrib'ut Tehzib (Estimation of Refinement), authored by the grand scholar of Hadith Ahmet ben Ali ben Hadjer Al-Asqalani, is among the most important hadith books explaining the statuses of the narrators who had reported the hadiths in The Kutub-i Sitte (The Six Books of Hadith). Contemporary scholars have a big confidence in this work in explaining the status of a hadith reporter, because Ben Hadjer gives precise/enough information, just in a line, about the status of the reporter. "This reporter is reliable but he has delusions," is from among his words about the reporters. In this study, I have explained "delusion" in its all aspects. I have explained it in its literary meaning and in its special meaning in the terminology of hadith with the lights of relevant examples. I have underlined the need to recognize this subject. Types of delusion: Delusion in the letters, names, sentences and hadiths The legal decision for delusion: I have explained and elucidated, relying on the words of scholars, the legal decisions for each and all types of delusion said above
