Reasons of describing AL-hakim with leniency in his book (Al-Mustadrak Ala Al-Sahihayen)

Abstract

A member of scholars has redress authentic hadith that the two imams al-bukhari and muslim has not reported in their books al-sahihayen and one of those al-hakim anysabouri in his book (al-mustadrak ala al-sahihayen).

EL-hakim has indicate in the introduction of el-mustadrak that he will report hadith wish two imams has argued in their books .This condition led scholars  to jugging ahadith al-mustadrak to the conditions of the two imams in their books al-sahihayen. That is way the scholars describe them as a lenient in   authentication of ahadith witch he has narrated in his mustadrak.

And this article is a collection of many reasons for describing al-hakim as a lenient. There are personal reasons and methodological reasons.

The personal reasons are that he wrote his book in late age; and he was dead before revising his book. and the methodological reasons are: he didn’t require narrating hadith witch haven’t blemish; he accept the addition in text or chain by trustworthy narrators; he didn’t differentiate between the authentic hadith and the good hadith; he extend in the meaning of conditions of the two imams; And other reasons. That is what I will study it in this article.
