Uninterrupted (Mutawatir) Hadith and its Authenticity (A Critical study to the approach of Amin Ahsan Islahi)

Abstract

In the view of Muslim scholars, any Hadith which has been transmitted by tawatur
and whose reporters based their reports on direct, unambiguous perception, with 
renationalization would produce knowledge with certainty. Mutawatir has been 
divided in two groups. The eminent Islamic scholar, Amin Ahsan Islahi framed the 
principles to understand the Hadith literature. This article comprises the critical 
analyses of Islahi’s views about existence and number of hadith Mutawatir.
