Abstract

One of the aspects Imam Ibn al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyah – God bless his soul - concerned with was answering the apparently contradicted and different Hadiths. He always discusses Hadiths that have contradiction and difference in appearance, then he proves that they are not contradicted at all as he is a well versed scholar in Sharia Sciences. Therefore he talked about the Hadiths that cause a dilemma and made it well understood and clear their meanings. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim had discussed the claim of some Hadiths contradiction with some Imams - God bless their souls, he replied to others about what they think. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim has his own  depensent scientific personality which sometimes provide support, discussion, or correction. In this research, I've concluded to the following results: Imam Ibn al-Qayyim – God bless his soul – was interested in contradicted Hadiths and participated in providing writings and reports that no one did before. The real difference in Valid Prophetic Hadiths is not existed in anyway, as they are revelation from Allah Almighty and the contradiction and difference occurs in minds and views of the designated person. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim – God bless his soul – has had many rules in gathering different Hadiths which I mentioned in a separate chapter. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim – God bless his soul – may don't reply to some Hadiths he don't gather, weight or issue an opinion that such Hadiths are not correct.
