Muslims rely primarily on the Quran and the Hadiths in all their spiritual life and consider them as sacred sources. If the Quran is God's word, then the Hadiths are God's instructions in the words of the Prophet Muhammad. Since Hadiths are transmitted through multiple narrators, they have been extensively studied to ensure their authenticity. The purpose of this study is to detect fabricated Hadiths, or Mawdu, which is the type of Hadith most rejected by Muslim scholars. The study utilises the central text and content of Hadith, Matn, rather than solely focusing on Hadith chain of narrators, Sanad. In order to accomplish this, we create and release the first dataset dedicated to Mawdu Hadiths, called MAHADDAT. Furthermore, we set up a Mawdu Hadith (MH) detection system based on a transformer language model, BERT, achieving a 92.47% F1 MH score.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
