This paper could be considered a template or an example of how to deal with some of the critiqued hadīths in al-Sahīhayn (Muslim and Bukhārī). It also exemplifies a scientific method in studying these hadīths with an objectivity that avoids the bias of both sanctification and desecration. It also serves as an example of how to answer those who -in these times where Sahīh-dispute has taken a loud and very unscientific path - try to attack the principles and pillars of this religion. The researcher has chosen a hadīth that has been often criticized and even mocked. Sometimes on the hands of the biased who hold ill intentions close to heart, and other times by those who simply lack enough knowledge and expertise. The teacher refutes the arguments that both parties have come to provide and gives an evidenced approach to the study in order to get to the result that confusing the sound Hadiths with the unfit ones has often been die to failing to observe the methodology of the writers of the al- Sahīhayn. And from God I seek guidance and precision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
