Unsound Narrative Patterns Related to the Marriage of Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) and Zainab bint JahshWith an Emphasis on Orientalists’ Mistakes

One of the important factors in defaming the personality of the Prophet Mohammad (p. b. u. h.) by the obstinate, ignorant or misguided orientalists is the existence of many flaws in Islamic narrations which need to be scrutinized by hadith experts. Most of these narrations concern all Muslims, and some of them have found their way into Shiite hadith resources, and there are many problems with their documents and texts. The narrations concerning the marriage of the Prophet (p. b. u. h.) to Zeynab bint Jahsh have created many predicaments in exact understanding of this event, and now it is necessary to follow another way of analyzing the legend of the Prophet's marriage to Zeynab bint Jahsh looking critically at hadith sources. The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the relevant narrations using the content analysis method so that door can be closed on other orientalists’ erroneous critiques.
