SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The Common-Link Theory, invented by Joseph Schacht and widely accepted in modern scholarship, argues that 'hadith' authorities knowingly and purposefully placed traditions in circulation with little care to support these 'hadiths' with satisfactory 'isnads'. The accuracy of Schacht's theory has been challenged in this dissertation.
