Ṭūmār The Issue of Correcting the Hadiths Inverted as a Way of Examination

The term "Qalb" refers to the deliberate inversion of a portion of the Isnād or content of a hadith in various forms, which has been a significant focus of scholars in the field of hadith criticism. Hadiths mixed with inversion are not reliable for citation, as intentional inversion of a hadith can lead to the weakening of the narrator and is known as one of the reasons for abandoning such narrations. One of the challenges of inverted hadiths is the issue of exceptions, as using inverted hadiths serves as a method for testing the reliability of narrators and jurists. This article critically examines and evaluates this important aspect in the history of Muslim hadiths.
