Journal Of Hadith Studies, 3(1). https://doi.org/10.33102/johs.v3i1.3010.33102/johs.v3i1.30https://journalofhadith.usim.edu.my/index.php/johs/article/view/30https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/14064JOHS Vol 3. No 1. June 2018This research focuses on a specific type of concealed flaws used by Abu Hatim al-Razi in the identification of concealed flaws in prophetic narrations. Abu Hatim described this particular type of concealed flaws as Luzum al-Tariq (persisting association to the chain of narration). This research defines luzum al-tariq and provides affirmative indications of its existence and the guidelines to identify such concealed flaws in a narration. Identifying concealed flaws of a common narration according to Abu Hatim is by referring to the affirmative indications. The affirmative indications are hidden which are identifiable through a meticulous inspection of the indicators. This study aims to reveal these indicators until they become apparent. I rely on the inductive and analytical methodologies to discuss Abu Hatim’s point of view as well as the comparative methodology to compare his view with other scholars’ views on this matter.enindications,concealed flaws identification,Luzum al-Tariq,Abu Hatim alRazi.Article
