Hassan Hanafi Complete Works from Transmission to Mind (Hadith Sciences) Part Two

The sciences of Hadith, from the criticism of the chain to the criticism of the text, and the sciences of Hadith have arisen and developed based on an actual need, and all the sciences of Hadith are speculative like other transmission sciences, and therefore they are not sacred sciences; the correctness in them is from one side, so they are human efforts. Pure transmission does not exist, and Hadith is documented in two ways: the first is objective classification according to the chapters of jurisprudence, and the second is subjective classification of narrators and linking each Hadith to a narration. As for the third and final part, titled "The Science of Sirah," it is an attempt to reconstruct the science of Sirah, first presenting a definition of the science of Sirah, documenting Sirah, then moving secondly to establish the message "its roots and origins," then thirdly presenting the beginning of the message, its announcement, and its spread, then fourthly discussing the end of the message, its completion, and its fate, then fifthly diagnosing the message, its deviation, the person of the Prophet, and the book as an attempt to reconstruct the sciences of Hadith, addressing the analysis of the chain, the analysis of the text, then criticizing the text among the hadith scholars, and criticizing the rational content and the factual content.
