Highlight On Hadith School In Egypt In First Three Centuries

Abstract

The scientific movement and the cultural situation flourished in Egypt since the first three centuries of the Hijrah, due to a large number of pioneers of the Hadith school in Egypt, including Sheikhs, students, and guests, who participated in the Islamic conquests. Since Egypt is the African gateway and one of the important territories that encouraged scholars to stay in it. The scholars of Egypt had great and blessed efforts in the service of the Honorable Hadith and its sciences in terms of its chain of transmission and text. It preceded other schools in the stage of hadith compilation, during the era of Abdul Aziz bin Marwan, as well as in the companions’ traveling towards it, seeking some of what they missed from the companions of Egypt. Also, the lack of appeals against the Hadith school in Egypt and the integrity of its narration contributed to the few Hadiths narrated there. The situation on hadith narration in Egypt was not as widespread as it was in Iraq. Nevertheless, the Hadith scholars of Egypt contributed an abundant share in rooting the issues of the Hadith term. The hadith occupied a lofty position among the Islamic sciences. Also, the Hadith narrators had strong and audible speech, as they had the ability to contribute positively to the social movement. The existence of a clear relationship between the Hadith school of Egypt and other schools affected significantly, as we have seen through the trips of the Egyptians to other various cities, and the trips of others to them. The research aims to shed light on the key scholars of the Hadith school in Egypt from the companions, followers, and their followers, and to highlight their most important contributions in addition to knowing the most important features of the Egyptian Hadith School that are distinguished by from other schools. Among the important recommendations that the research finds out is the necessity of defining the concept of the Hadith school, setting agreed standards for it, and taking more care than before of the subject of Hadith schools in territories, recording their common denominators and distinguishing the advantages of each school over others.
