Dirayat al-hadith: Difference between revisions

The formation of diraya al-hadith should be taken to be a result of extensive interactions between scholars of [[hadith]], scholars of [[fiqh]], and those of [[kalam]]. The path has sometimes been different for [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] scholars. For Sunnis, some issues of diraya al-hadith came under focus since the period of [[sahaba]] ([[the Prophet (s)]]'s immediate companions). There are cases of works written about some issues of diraya al-hadith which date back to the late second century A.H. (early 9th century). [[Shafi'i]] is the first to have written about this in his ''al-Risala''.
