Abstract
The research deals with the study and takhreej of the hadith: (Do not keep company with anyone but a believer, and let no one eat your food except a pious one). As it is considered one of the problems of the hadith, this hadith has been subjected to criticism for two reasons: criticism in its chain of transmission, which led to its weakening, and criticism in its text because its apparent meaning contradicts the verses in which charity and feeding are mentioned in general without specificity. Thus, the purpose of this research was to resolve the issue and and solve the problem, by studying the chain of transmission, and study the hadith in its interpretations in order to determine the proper instruction for this hadith in accordance with hadith scholars' guidelines. The study concluded with a set of results: This hadith was ruled to be Shih and Hasan by the early scholars of this matter, so five hadith scholars ruled it to be Shih, namely: Ibn Hibban, Al-Hakim, Al-Dhahabi, Al-Suyuti, and Al-Manawi. Three of the hadith scholars considered it to be Hasan: Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nawawi, and Ibn Hajar, and three contemporary scholars also considered it Hasan .What is most correct opinion regarding the ruling on this hadith after studying its chain of transmission is that it is Hasan, and one of the instructions given by the commentators on this hadith is that giving food and honor to others is far more important and is always preferable than prioritizing pious people over others because feeding necessitates affinity and leads to mingling, in fact it is the closest bond of interaction and mingling.This study recommended paying attention to hadiths that contain problems, especially those related to contemporary issues and the etiquette of dealing with non-Muslims, and calling on specialists in the Prophet’s hadith to address the suspicions directed at the Sunnah. Leaving this door to non-specialists opens the way for not understanding the texts correctly, and thus concluding incorrect results. Consequently, inaccurate results are reached, which results in the Sunnah being challenged by claiming a contradiction between it and other texts.
