The Authenticity of Hadith Narrated by Nafi' the Mawla of Ibn 'Umar

Abstract

Nafi' the mawla of Ibn Umar, the hadith narrator in the group of Asah al-Asanid is considered the unhistorical person and the traditions narrated by him are unaccountable because he does not qualify as a common link in the view of Juynboll. This article tries to prove the authenticity of traditions narrated by Nafi' by taking a sample from the alSahihayn book and making an isnad bundle of its, in order to know the position of Nafi' in the transmission of those traditions. After all samples were examined, it was found that Nafi' and the narrator above him could be qualified as a common link, so it is concluded that Nafi' narrations are authentic with this evidence.
