The Authenticity of Prophetic Hadith: A Pseudo-Problem
Abstract
L'A. a pour objectif de demontrer que l'etude des erudits occidentaux concernant l'authenticite des «hadith» prophetiques n'a pratiquement plus de raison d'etre. Pour ce faire, il laisse simplement la position traditionnelle parler d'elle-meme. Puis il conclut que les erudits musulmans traditionnels ont resolu le probleme pour nous et qu'il est inutile de poursuivre une quete nee de la non-ecoute de ce que disent ces savants depuis longtemps.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“According to Hallaq, Western scholars demand a level of historical certai nty that has never been demanded of any other source of civilization and then declare that the hadith fails to meet standards that have been deliberately set to be impossible to meet.”
In the citing paper
“Wael Hallaq offers the most radical perspective by labeling the entire issue of authentication a pseudo -problem (Hallaq, 1999).”
In the citing paper
“Hallaq cuts straight to the heart of this issue when he refers to the question of authenticity as a pseudo -problem born of double standards (Hallaq, 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
