(نقد حدیث کاآغاز وارتقاء(عصر نبوی تاعصرصحابہ

Abstract

Since the advent of Islam, best efforts have been made for the preservation of hadith. To this purpose, the holy prophet (PBUH) provided his ummah with a solid guidance. The companions of the holy Prophet (pbuh) not only took practical steps but they also set up primary rules for the criticism of hadith. This effort became a source of guidance in hadith criticism for the scholars of hadith in the latter era. In this article efforts of the holy Prophet (pbuh) and his companions have been appreciated in this context. And the analytical study of such primary rules and principles have been made which were observed by the holy Prophet(pbuh)  and his companions.
