Abduljabbar ibn Wael Narrations from his Father Justified in Ibn Abi Hatim’s Book Al-Garh Wa Altadeel (Crtitque and Modification) through Transmission and not Defects: An Analytical Study

Abstract

This study aims to compile and examine the narrations of Abdul-Jabbar ibn Wael ibn Hajar from his father, as justified in Ibn Abi Hatim’s book Al-Jarh wa Al-Ta'dil through transmission rather than defects. For the study authentication and compilation purposes, t inductive and analytical approach was employed. The study is organized into an introduction, two sections, and a conclusion. The introductory part presented a brief biography of Wael ibn Hajar and Abduljabbar ibn Wael. The first section provided the theoretical aspects of the study. The second section focused on the empirical aspects with reference to the narrations of Abduljabbar from his father, evaluating them, and explaining the meaning of Al-Irsal (transmission). The study findings showed that Abdul-Jabbar ibn Wael ibn Hajar’s narration from his father is discontinuous because he did not hear from him or directly interact with him. The intermediary between him and his father was Alqamah ibn Wael, his elder brother and their freed slave, who narrated through Alqamah associated with their freed slave.
