The author of many works, Muhammad Mustafa al-Azami was the first Muslim researcher who took up in all aspects and refuted the claims of Orientalists to the effect that hadiths (sayings of the Prophet) had not been handed down in a reliable way. Beginning at the end of the 17th century in the West, Orientalist works on the sunnah (practices of the Prophet) and hadith brought up claims regarding doubts about the reliability of the Quran and sunnah, in particular, and they made publications questioning the authenticity of hadiths. Following the Western academic world closely and aware of the Orientalists’ works and making a great contribution to Islamic sciences, particularly the science of hadith, M. Azami destroyed these claims by producing evidence within a framework of scientific methodology.
