Useful criteria relating to the acceptance of weak prophetic reports corroborated by other narrative chains
Abstract
Prophetic reports, constituting the second foundational source of the Islamic
Weltanschauung, have been categorised in terms of their authenticity. The current work
explores reports occurring in single transmission chains that are corroborated in word or
meaning by other similarly narrated reports whose source at the level of Prophet
Muhammad's companions could either be the same or different.
Rules pertaining to this field have been amalgamated for the first time to simplify their
application. Appropriated practical examples have been given to illustrate harmony between
theory and praxis.
Concentration has been restricted to a corroboration of reports by other transmission chains.
An examination of the latter falls outside the scope of this investigation.
