This article analyzes the methodological evolution of refutation literature
developed against Hadith rejection in both classical and modern periods. The study
provides a comparative analysis of three fundamental works of Islamic jurisprudence
and Hadith science: Imam al-Shāfiʿī’s Jimāʿ al-ʿIlm, Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī’s Taʾwīl
Mukhtalif al-Ḥadīth, and Muḥammad Abū Shahba’s Al-Difāʿ ʿan al-Sunna. For the first
time, the interconnection and developmental stages of legal-methodological (al-Shāfiʿī),
logical-linguistic (Ibn Qutayba), and historical-factual (Abū Shahba) refutation styles
are revealed. The article also addresses modern doubts concerning the personality of
Abū Hurayra (r.a.) and the recording of Hadiths (tadwīn), providing scientific responses
based on classical methodology.
