Ways of Identifying and Detecting the Interpolations into the Hadith Texts

"Hadith" as the narrator of the tradition, is
one of the most important main sources in the inference of religious Laws and
Islamic teachings. In the process of transmitting the narrative heritage up to
the present day, some hadiths have undergone different defects, such as
interpolations into their text. The number of such texts is low. Still, the
researcher has to detect them in the validation process of the hadith, as well
as its understanding and admission as authoritative. This paper seeks to answer
the question, what are the ways of detecting interpolations into the hadiths?
So, through a descriptive-analytical method and using written sources and
existing documents, it tries to identify the main ways of detecting
interpolations into the hadiths. Some of these ways are: using manuscripts,
analyzing research text, employing the science of Takhrij and
identifying references of the narration, and considering the role of the
narrator in the process of transmission of narrative heritage.
