Abstract

While Vakidi is regarded as a master in the field of siyar, most of the hadith scholars have seriously criticized him. On the basis of the criticisms directed to him lies the transmission of narrations contrary to the rules of transmission of the hadith. Some accused him of inventing hadith, while others accused him of lying. Although the first hadith writers such as Ahmed b. Hanbal, Bukhari, Muslim, and Abu Davud criticized him harshly the narrations of Vakidi are seen in the books of these hadith writers. These narratives sometimes take place in the common sened and sometimes in the common text. Seeing Vakidi is such a weak and unreliable narrator, why are his narrations taking place in the book of the hadith writers. According to our opinion hadithists and critics they accept Vakidi's narrations as problematic narratives because they evaluate the narrations with the criticism system they apply to hadiths.
