There is no doubt in the role
that Hadiths ( traditions ) play in shaping Islamic sciences
and scholarship . This is because , every theological ,
scholarly and practical notion which is investigated by
scholars,depends,in its origin, upon the prophetic traditions of the Prophet (SAWA) and
his pure
Progeny . On this note, we find many narrated
traditions
concerning the virtue of transmitting
, writing
and the remembrance of Hadiths.
Writing of Hadiths began in the time
of the Holy
Prophet (SAWA) when he ordered Ali (AS) to write down
everything
that he dictated to him . The Holy
Prophet
( SAWA ) emphasized the recording
of Hadiths to the extent that in the last moments of
his
life he said , "Bring me a paper and ink so that I may write for you
something that you will never go astray after me".(Saheeh
Bukhari ) This Hadith,in reality, was a general permission for all Muslims to record
the Hadiths. |
