Abstract
The research was limited to those whom Imam Abu Dawood
described in his Sunan as weak, so this research does not include
narrators who carried descriptions indicating weakness such as
ignorance or others, nor does it include hadiths that the Imam
described as weak.
The number of narrators whom Imam Abu Dawood described as
weak has reached six narrators, and my methodology was to
mention the words of Imam Abu Dawood, then transfer the
sayings of other advanced scholars, as well as the sayings of
Imam Abu Dawood in his other books, if any, to show the extent
of compatibility between these sayings.
I have reached the following results;
1.Imam Abu Dawood described six of his Sunan narrators as
weak.
2.Imam Abu Dawood agreed with other scholars regarding the
weak of three narrators.
3.There was a dispute between Imam Abu Dawood and some
imams regarding the weakness of three narrators, and the most
correct in this was the saying of Imam Abu Dawood.
4.His sayings that he mentioned in his Sunan are not mentioned in his other books.
