Every Muslim is encouraged to study it to the best of their ability. In scholarly discourse, a Ḍaʿīf (weak) hadith may be strengthened and elevated to the rank of Ḥasan li-ghayrihī, a category of hadith deemed acceptable as evidence (ḥujjah). Among the reasons weak hadith may be strengthened is when its meaning aligns with a verse from the Qur’an -a concept known as taqwiyat al-ḥadīth al-ḍaʿīf bi-muwāfaqatihi lil-Qurʾān (the reinforcement of a weak hadith through its correspondence with the Qur’an). This study examines the extent to which this notion is recognized and accepted among the muhaddithin as a hadith expert. The research employs a library-based and textual analysis approach, as it requires careful examination and evaluation of scholarly materials. The findings reveal that the majority of muhaddithin do not accept mere similarity in meaning with Qur’anic verses as sufficient to strengthen weak hadith to the level of Ḥasan li-ghayrihī. The authenticity of a hadith depends on two essential aspects: its sanad (chain of transmission) and matan (text). The nuqqād al-ḥadīth (critics among hadith scholars) never authenticated a hadith by neglecting either aspect, particularly the sanad, which is the most extensively discussed component in their works. Abu Hatim affirmed this by saying: “The authenticity of a hadith is known through the trustworthiness (ʿAdālah) of its transmitters, and such words may then be considered as prophetic speech.” Therefore, attributing a hadith to the Prophet (PBUH) requires an authentic sanad or at least Ḥasan li-ghayrihī, along with a Salīm text.</jats:p>msweak hadithqur’an and hadithtaqwiyat al-ḥadīthstrengthening through the qur‘ancorrespondence with the qur‘anjournal-article150159102
