“ÂLİMLER, PEYGAMBERLERİN VÂRİSLERİDİR” İBARESİNİN YER ALDIĞI BİR HADİSİN MUTÂBAAT ve ŞEVÂHİD AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
AN ASSESSMENT ON THE HADITH THAT CONTAINS THE EXPRESSION OF “THE SCHOLARS ARE THE HEIRS OF PROPHETS” IN TERMS OF FOLLOW-UP AND WITNESSES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the science of hadith has been the conservation of the narrations ascribed to the prophet as far as possible. Therefore, Muhaddiths, have given place to the authentic (sahîh) and acceptable/good (hasan) hadiths along with weak narrations in their scripts. At the beginning, The weak hadiths that were written with the aim of stopping (tevakkuf) have been later included into the narration network in case the ones that did not have strong deficiencies could reinforce each other and become more sound. The hadith that contains the expressıon of "The Scholars are the heirs of prophets" was ranked as “hasan”, furthermore was accepted as “sahîh” by some scholars. This article has been written to articulate whether this hadith can be made sound due to the proliferation of its chains of transmitters (tariqs) or the reinforcement of its meaning.
