THE EXTENT TO WHICH ISSUES WITH PRESENT TENSE VERB PROVEN IN SAHIH AL- BUKHARI (A DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE NARRATIONS IN THE AL-YUNINI VERSION)

Abstract

This research is a descriptive and analytical study of the narrations of Sahih al-Bukhari collected in the al-Yunini version, which investigated the issues of the present tense verb in Sahih Al-Bukhari in order to verify whether this grammatical evidence is present in Al-Sahih or not. This is because Sahih Al-Bukhari has been narrated from multiple narrations that differ in the grammatical problem under study. Therefore, the researcher identified, through induction, forty-eight hadiths that fall under eight grammatical issues in the rules of the present tense verb. He then studied them by tracing the narrations of Sahih Al-Bukhari and concluded that twelve of these hadiths did not differ in their narrations. The remaining hadiths- 36 in number- have narrations between the problematic and non-problematic. After tracing the narrations of hadiths with different narrations, he concluded that 25 of them are likely to be authentic in the Sahih, while 11 are likely to be unauthentic. Generally, the percentage of authentic hadiths in Sahih Al-Bukhari is about 77%, while unauthentic hadiths are about 23%.
