Summary/Abstract: “The real Sunna” which is one of the two majör resource of Islam is explanation of Qoran and refers to it. Sunna both explains the general laws, borders the definite rules and sometimes gives a specific rule which Qoran doesn’t contain. To behave according to Sunna, the reality of hadith must be known. In order to find out the reality of hadith, Mohaddis generally use criticism of narrator, while fukahâ cared text criticism. Mohaddis classified the hadith as real-good-weak and so, they evaluated the text of them. Fukahâ classified them as narrated-famous-one way and so, they emphasised the narratives’ definity in points of behavior. Hanafi scholars reached to peak of text criticism by bringing new criteria in order to act within one way hadith. In the light of this knowledge it will be seen that the arguement of “Muslim scholars –especially Fukahâ- didn’t criticised the hadith from the point of text, they reached laws only by looking their narrator chain” which is started by Orientalists and is accepted by some Muslims, is not true. The tradition and knowledge backlog, which began with The Prophet and came today with evaluation and effort of the companions, shows us that this arguement doesn’t have any scientific value. In this artcle we will study “The Companions’ And Fukahâ Methods Of Hadith Text Criticism” as a response to some accusations to Fukahâ.
