I am currently making a glossary of Arabic or Islamic terms for the Norwegian Islamic website. And I came across two words, isnad and isnah. Isnad was translated as "chain of transmitters of any given hadith" and isnah as "process of validating the hadith; citation methodology" at this site: http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of...in-arabic#wp-I
Ok, so far. But now, one of the other Admins on the site, say that the word Isnah does not exist in Arabic, and that he never heard it. I on the other hand, am not a native arabic speaker, so I dont really know. I speak only Darjja...
Anyone here who can help me out, is it a word, or? I doubt that the list is wrong and make up words...
i believe that 'isnad' is the chain of transmitters of the hadith, but that site is mainly owned by non muslims so i dont believe its reliable for islamic research, the same with another site called 'wikipedia'.
i'm really sorry - i dont know about 'isnah' though, insha Allaah someone with the knowledge of arabic will be able to answer it. wa Allaahu a'lam (and Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala knows best.)
I had a muslim site too, stating the same thing. I cant find that link, since I since that time, changed from Windows to FreeBSD, so I cant open my links from the CD. Long story, I am so not a nerd.
isnad i have heard of as the meaning mentioned above...but in all these years that i have known arabic i have never come across that word...maybe my sister can help she more advanced then me...
