Approaches and Methods of Hadith Criticism in Dārequtnī's "ilzāmāt and Tatabbu'" according to Brown

Jonathan Brown has paid special attention to the critique of the hadith and has also addressed ilzāmāt and Tatabbu' of Dārequtnī in a scientific survey. This article explores his position about approaches and methods of hadith criticism in Dārequtnī's ilzāmāt and Tatabbu'. The collection of information is descriptive-analytical by computer-library method in the work. Brown follows Dārequtnī's belief and methodology by studying his works, especially ilzāmāt and Tatabbu'. Brown finds that his approach to hadith is often to deal with Isnads and narrations; he also shows in his methodology that most of his works deal with the Isnads and its causes or the status and identity of the narrators, he accepts the increase, both for the Isnad and for the content. Of course, the most comprehensive defense of the scholars from Șaḥīḥayn was that Dārequtnī's criticism is acceptable only in exceptional cases. With an analytical and unbiased informational, Brown reaches to this belief that Dārequtnī has proved he considered hadith to be the product of sanads by writing ilzāmāt and Tatabbu', and therefore Dārequtnī's ideas did not play a significant role in Șaḥīḥayn criticism, instead practically and publicly these corrections have been resulted from his accuracy in studying hadith.
