| The approaches of the contemporary scholars to the Prophetic hadiths and sunnah is among the central issues in the field of hadith research. Mohammad Shahrur is one of the modernists who has special principles in debilitating and criticizing the texts of the Prophetic hadiths and has evaluated the Prophetic hadiths in Sunni hadith circles with a reductionist and critical perspective. Using the descriptive-critical method, this study intends to examine Shahrur’s perspective in the methods of criticizing the Prophetic hadiths. The results indicate that Shahrur has expressed the method of having access to the sound Prophetic hadiths in the two areas of documentary and textual criticism. The negation of the justice of the Companions is his only critical view of the documents of the Prophetic hadiths narrated by the Companions. Given this view, he has considered all the narrations to be sound. Conflict between narrations and the verses of the Quran, differences in the texts of narrations, conflict with reason, similarity of narrative texts to pre-Islamic texts and the disagreement of narrations with the necessities of Islam are the most important ways of Shahrur in criticizing the texts of the Prophetic narrations. Among the criticisms leveled at Shahrur's approach, one can refer to his haste, which is due to the lack of comprehensive investigation in the field of narrations because, in criticizing the documents and texts of the narrations, he has collected biased evidence based on his reductionist approach to the Prophetic sunnah and has not considered all the criteria for criticizing the texts of the narrations. |
