Analysis of the Role
of Narrators’ Subjectivity in Understanding the Hadith

Abolfazl Sajedi
Sayyid Mahmood Mortazavi Shahroodi

The present paper is concerned with a common feature of "the logic of hadith comprehension" and "hermeneutics". It investigates varieties of subjectivity among hadith transmitters and their role in readers’ understanding of hadith books. This study attempts to collect and classify examples of traditions that the narrator’s (transmitter’s or collector’s) understanding of hadith has influenced his or her narrations which may lead readers to a wrong deduction. The authors of the present paper offer an appropriate solution for each of them. They also explain that it is possible to remove the likely impact of narrator’s understanding on readers' understanding by relying on sire uqala in conversations using a collective approach to the concerned traditions.

This study also deals with the phenomena of paraphrasing and its impact on religious knowledge. How a paraphrased text is differentiated from a non paraphrased one? How can a paraphrased text is understood and in which way? These are questions that the authors of the present paper try to answer.

Key Words: Hermeneutics, the Impact of the Narrators’ Subjectivity on the Reader's Understanding and Mind, Classification of Hadiths, Fractionation, addition and Omission, Paraphrasing.
