The Impact of Hadith's Thoughts on the Semantics of Hadith Terms: Case Study of "Shāzz" at Sunni Hadith Scholars with an Emphasis on the View Ibn Salah al-Shahrozuri

The condition of lacking oddness (Shuzūz) in definition of "Sound Hadith" (Ŝaĥīĥ) at Sunni Hadith scholars has caused the importance of "Shāzz" Hadith to them, because this kind of Hadith is counted among the "Weak Hadith" (Ďaīf). Studing available resources shown that there are three definitions of "Shāzz" Hadith. These definitions historically have provided by al-Shafi‘ī (d. 204), al-Hākim al-Nyshābūrī (d. 405) and his student al-Khalīlī al-Qazvīnī (d. 446). Review written works in later and contemporary eras proves that the definition provided by al-Shafi‘ī widely has adopted. A question that matters in this regard is that what is the reason of al-Shafi‘ī's definition superiority? From which time and by which scholar this preference has occurred? Given the available evidence, in this regard apparently the famous Hadith Scholar Ibn Ŝalāĥ al-Shahrazūrī (d. 643) has been effective. His judgment on the one hand is according to al-Bukhārī's Ŝaĥīĥ and the other hand is due to the undesirable results came from two other definitions. The factor of "soleness of trust narrator" in al-Hākim al-Nyshābūrī's definition and the element of "soleness of narrator" in al-Khalīlī al-Qazvīnī's definition have caused to "rare" Hadiths of trust narrator or any "rare" Hadith in al-Bukhārī's Ŝaĥīĥ be considered in the category of "Shāzz". This is not homogeneous with the special place of this book to the Sunni. Therefore, Ibn Ŝalāĥ, who himself points out this matter, has stated that as the reason for this preference.
