First Hadith on Authenticity of Ahadith: Second Hadith on authenticity of Ahadith: Third Hadith on authenticity of Ahadith: What about gradings of Ahadith (Sahih, Dhaeef, Mawdu…..)? So, what is the basis of Ahadith grading? Imam Al-Reza-asws Refuted false Ahadith from the Quran as well as from Ahadith ‘Tafseer Bil Ra’yi’ (Interpretation by Opinion) is Absolutely Forbidden: Why leave the ‘Grand River’ and drink from (muddy) puddles? Imam-asws Rebukes those who do not follow Sunnah (Ahadith).

Why does one need Ahadith to interpret the Holy Quran? Don’t take from Hypocrites pointed out by Masomeen-asws: An example of the deliberately lying ones: 11th Imam-asws cursed Ibn Hilal for interfering in (Ahadith): APPENDIX-I: Infallibility of Prophets-as The Debate of Imam Ali-asws ibn Musa AI-Reza-asws with Muslim scholars on infallibility of Prophet-as APPENDIX II: Ahadith Summarising the Interpretation of Quran Authenticity of a Hadith and its Criteria Summary: Most Muslims, for Ahadith authentication, check if a Hadith is in accordance with the Holy Quran.

This is difficult as Quranic Verses have multiple meanings and interpretations, so they have mostly relied upon a man-made principle of the Ilmul Rejal (scrutinising the characters of the Hadith narrators, if they are honest). However, as we will find in this article, that a Hadith needs to be in accordance with the Holy Quran or in accordance with other Ahadith of Rasool Allah -saww , so there is no role of Ilmul Rejal in establishing the authenticity of a Hadith.

As a general guideline, Masomeen -asws have forbidden us from taking Ahadith from hypocrites who have frequently lied and fabricated Ahadith for worldly gains and due to their animosity against Ahl Al-Bayt -asws , these Ahadith fabricators are identified in Ahadith of Masomeen -asws , so therefore, again the criteria of Hadith authentication lies in the Holy Quran or the Ahadith.
