Abstract
This thesis is a study of Ibn Hazm's methodology of rejecting narrations, in
particular where hejudges the narrators to be unknown (majhul). It examines:
1. Ibn Hazm's methodology ofjahala.
2. Ibn Hazm's agreement and disagreement with the Hadlth scholars injudging
narrators to be unknown (majhul).
3. The impact of Ibn Hazm's judgement of unknown narrators upon his
jurisprudence.
The thesis contains an introduction, three parts and a conclusion. In the
introduction the significance of the research and the necessity for the study are
explained.
Part One deals with Ibn Hazm and the Zahirl school and contains two chapters.
Chapter 1 covers Ibn Hazm's personal and scholarly life, and Chapter 2 studies the
Zahiri school, its influence and its principles.
Part Two studies Ibn Hazm's rejection ofnarrations for reasons other thanjahala
and is divided into three chapters. Chapter 3 focuses on Ibn Hazm's criticism of
narrators as weak or liars; Chapter 4 explains Ibn Hazm's criteria for rejecting
narrations; and Chapter 5 examines Ibn Hazm's criticism ofchain and text.
