Al-Jarh wa l-Ta'dil: Difference between revisions

'''Jarḥ and ta'dīl''' (Arabic: {{ia|الجَرح و التَعدیل}}) or '''criticism and praise''' is a branch of, and a terminology in, [[hadith sciences]] concerning the evaluation and criteria of the reliability and unreliability of the transmitters of [[hadith]]s, and consequently, the acceptance or rejection of those hadiths. Understanding the meanings of the [[Qur'an]] and the [[tradition]], which is obtained via [[reliable hadith]]s, depends on jarh and ta'dil, because the assessment of the reliability of the transmitters of hadiths is required for knowing reliable and unreliable hadiths.
