EVALUATION OF LAHN ISSUE ACCORDING TO HADITHISTS

The concept of lahn which was used in the early periods as taking the word in a different direction started to be used for expressions contrary to i‘rab However, in the examples given in the hadith sources, it is seen that the concept of lahn is used for expressions contrary to i‘rab, it is also used to cover grammatical errors in a general sense. The lahn which became widespread with the Arabs starting tol ive together with people from different ethnic origins, usually stems from not knowing Arabic and tasheef. Although muhaddithun accepted the absence of lahn in the narratör as an issue that strengthens the narrator’s dhabt, they ruled that the presence of lahn does not harm the narrator’s justice. For this reason, narrators who are known to make grammatical errors are also accepted as thiqa (reliable). It does not seem appropriate to claim that the narration assumed to be lahn is weak or fabricated fort his reason alone, since different uses arising from dialect differecens are not considered lahn and grammatical defects allegedely occuring as i‘rab errors can be interpreted differently. Because, it has been seen that there are other reasons why the narrations with grammatical errors are considered weak. The use of hypothetical examples by those who argue that the words cannot be trusted in the event that there is a situation in the hadith that violates the meaning also supports our opinion.
