AN ANALYSIS OF ZAGHLOUL EL-NAGGAR THOUGHT (CRITICAL STUDY OF HADITH USED IN AL-I’JĀZ AL-‘ILMI FĪ SUNNAH AL-NABAWIYYAH BOOKS)

Abstract

This research aims to criticize the hadiths included by Zaghloul El-Naggar in his book Al-I’jāz al-‘Ilmi fī Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah. This research departs from the results of the researcher's reading of Zaghloul El-Naggar's book, which often uses weak (ḍa’īf) or fabricated (mauḍu) hadith as evidence (dalīl) but he claims that the redaction is from hadith of the Prophet. The research was conducted using qualitative methods. Several things that will be the focus of discussion in this research are: 1) What are the ḍa’īf and false hadiths that Zaghloul El-Naggar includes in his book Al-I’jāz al-‘Ilmi fī Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah? 2) Why did Zaghloul El-Naggar include weak (ḍa’īf) and fabricated (mauḍu) hadiths in his book? 3) How to address the problem of using weak (ḍa’īf) and fabricated (mauḍu) hadiths in Al-I’jāz al-‘Ilmi fī Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah books? Among the conclusions that the researcher reached through this research was that the researcher found valid evidence that the hadiths listed by Zaghloul El-Naggar were ḍa’īf and even fabricated (mauḍu) hadiths. This has become a criticism from researchers because the use of fabricated (mauḍu) hadith is completely inconsistent with the title of the book which claims that this book contains miracles originating from the Sunnah Nabawiyyah (hadith).
