Hadith of Umar's ban on hadith Hadith of Umar's ban on hadith Some recorded oral tradition among Muslims (, ) is about Umar the second Caliph of Rashidun Caliphate, who ruled from 634 to 644 CE, and his ban on hadith. Although the narration is prominently quoted and referred to, it is not given any formal name, in contrast to other hadith such as the Hadith of the pond of Khumm or the Hadith of Qur'an and Sunnah. Sunnis believe that the Prophet Muhammad himself proclaimed that no hadith were to be recorded, to ensure that people would not confuse any hadith with the Qur'an. This
Criticism of Hadith to be obsessed with isr’iliyyat, i.e. tales from Jewish lore about earlier prophets. According to author Israr Ahmed Khan, traditional methods used to establish authenticity of hadith rely almost entirely on the personal characters of the reported narrators, and fail to pay enough attention to the actual content of the hadith being evaluated. Among the problems he sees in the traditional hadith analysis are: the inability of some narrators to maintain preciseness of the report, textual conflicts among reports, ignoring textual analysis when the hadith was reported by a narrator of good character, and probability of fabrication of hadith.
