: MSA-USC HADITH DATABASE
Warning (especially for Muslims)
There are many early hadeeth scholars and
teachers to whom we are indebted for introducing the critical science of
collecting and evaluating ahaadeeth. These teachers each collected many
different ahaadeeth. They did not allow students to quote from their collections
until the students had actually come to them and learnt from them directly.
Today, the situation is different. The
collections of ahaadeeth have for the most part stabilized, and with the advent
of the printing press, the collections are easily mass- produced. There is a
blessing in all this of course, but there is a real danger that Muslims will
fall under the impression that owning a book or having a database is equivalent
to being a scholar of ahaadeeth. This is a great fallacy. Therefore, we would
like to warn you that this database is merely a tool, and not a
substitute for learning, much less scholarship in Islam.
