In dieser Zeit entwickelten die Gelehrten auch eine Hadith-Kritik, die Kriterien festlegte, mit deren Hilfe man den Grad der Glaubwürdigkeit einzelner Überlieferungen bestimmen konnte. Der Beitrag stellt die Auffassungen der muslimischen Rechts- und Hadith-Gelehrten zu diesem Thema dar und evaluiert ihre Lösungen aus der Sicht der westlichen historisch-kritischen Wissenschaft.
