The Term Ṣāliḥ in Abū Dāwūd's al-Sunan: An Evaluation in Terms of Authenticity

Abstract

This article examines the degree of authenticity of the narration material as defined by Abū Dāwūd’s concept of ṣāliḥ. Although he answered some of the questions about Sunan that were directed to him in a small treatise he wrote for the Meccans, some aspects of the book remain ambiguous. The term ṣāliḥ and the scope of authenticity are perhaps the most important of these. Because Abū Dāwūd mentioned this concept in his letter, he did not explain what he meant. This situation caused the ḥadīth scholars after his death to present some different opinions around this term and to argue about what kind of meaning Abū Dāwūd attributed to the concept of ṣāliḥ in the categorization of ḥadīths in terms of authenticity. Considering the term’s emergence, contrary to popular belief, this study contends that the term ṣāliḥ does not only cover ṣaḥīḥ (sound) or ḥasan (fair) ḥadīths but also refers to a wide level of authenticity that includes ḍaʿīf (weak) ḥadīths, although not severe.
