Abstract
Suspicious narrative reports are refined if they benefit from the authenticity of the informant with specific criteria such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, history, science, sense, experience, consensus and definite reason. Among these criteria, the function of intellect in two spheres of instrumental role-playing and independent role is very colorful. The confusion between these two areas has caused the researchers of the theoretical sciences of hadith to consider the instrumental applications of reason in criteria such as submission to the Qur’an, science and even literary sciences as components of the reason-oriented criticism of hadith, and as a result, to explain the types of measures of independent reason in the criticism of hadith. On the other hand, the similarity of concepts such as science, sense and experience, customs, the construction of intellectuals, the way of the wise and the way of Muslims, has caused these concepts to be equated. One of the achievements of this article in a descriptive-analytical method is redefining the concept of the standard of reason for criticizing hadith and explaining the difference between the function of reason in the aforementioned two spheres. In the next step, different types of the measure of reason in the criticism of hadiths are distinguished from each other with logical definitions and appropriate hadith examples are provided in each article. These types are: the way of the wise, the construction of the wise, the judgment of the independent reason, custom and logic. At the end, with the practical approach of the theoretical discussions, the necessity of solid interpretation of the hadith, before the final judgment about its validity, along with some hasty criticism of the hadith with the measure of reason is exemplified.
