Abstract:

“This reporter is reliable but he has mistakes.” 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 my study, I collected all reporters of whom Ben Hadjer spoke as reliable and mistaken in his book Takrib’ut Tehzib. I cited the words of scholars about each and every reporter and expressed which scholar described which reporter with mistake and the reason for his description, and I listed the hadiths in which the reporter made mistakes. And then I explained the proof of reporters’ chain, the text and the decision of each hadith. After these explanations, I have finally expressed the decisions for each and every reporter.
