This research sheds light on “Imam Ibn Al-Teen Al-Safaqsi and his method in the problematic hadith”. Ibn Al-Teen Al-Safaqsi is one of the scholars of the Hadith in Tunisia, his name is Abu Amr Abdel-Wahid Ibn Al-Teen Al-Safafisi. His book is known in interpretation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, and it is one of the first explanations of Al-Bukhari, and his title is the Al-Faseeh informant in the interpretation of Al-Bukhari Al-Saheeh. Later scholars accepted this book, benefited from it, and quoted it in hundreds of places in their commentaries on Al-Jami Al-Sahih whether those explanations that are concerned with the entirety of the book, such as: Fath al-Bari, Umdat al-Qari, and Irshad al-Sari, or those that are concerned with the linguistic aspect of it, such as: the lamps of Al-Jama'a or Al-Tanqeeh and Shawahed Al-Tawdheeh. The research also aims to clarify the approach of Imam Ibn Al-Teen Al-Safaqsi and clarify his position on Imam Al-Bukhari as well as trying to draw features of his method in the modern in general, and problematic in particular.
