In this article entitled “problem of carelessness in the hadith researches”,
it has been discussed “the possibilty of lessening the mistakes” commencing
from “the examples of mistakes in contemporary hadith researches”. It
has been realized that the very basic defect was the translation mistakes came
out as a result of quick and careless translation and the wrong decisions based on
these translation mistakes.
In order to reduce the erros, it has been seen that, first of all, it is necessary
to be more careful and sensitive in analysing the subject matters of discussion
and also there are some material-moral principles that should be considered
during the oral and written discussion of this kind of matters, of which the first
coming is to read, understand and interpret the texts of hadith in an objective
manner. Otherwise, it is inevitable that this kind of reading which has no connection
with the scholarly understanding will consciously or unconsciously lead to a
strange attitude and act of approvement the plan and project which was determined
in the mind with the text which was read at the end. Overcoming this
handicap/problem will provide the texts of hadith with the opportunity of expressing
themselves as they are. In addition, there are the important factors that the
academicians having different opinions should be taken into consideration seriously and that the full capacity of mind and memory power should be used without
any negative effect of environment and also that the Arabic language and literature
should be known eloquently. Undoubtly, the creation of desired skill and
faculty of hadith depends on putting these principles into effect punctually.
Application of careful, solemn, calm, objective and critical method to the
hadith reading in a decent manner will produce some values in theory and practice
and open new horizons for an equilibriumed life
