In the opening episode of his channel, Salman Nasir sits down with his co-author Tahir Muhammad to discuss their paper on Western academic Hadith studies, examining isnad-cum-matn analysis (ICMA), common-link theory, and the historical assumptions underlying modern Hadith criticism. Particular attention is given to G. H. A. Juynboll's treatment of Nafi' and other early transmitters. See the paper by Tahir Muhammad and Salman Nasir here: https://journal.equinoxpub.com/CIS/ar...
