(Mashehe wawili kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah (ra))

(The two Sheikhs from Abu Hurairah (ra))

Kilugha, At-Tarjeeh maana yake ni At-Tamyeel (kuegemea upande) na At-Taghleeb (kuwekwa mbele au juu ya kitu fulani). At-Tarjeeh katika Istilaah ya Wanazuoni wa Usuli:

Linguistically At-Tarjeeh means At-Tamyeel (to incline) and At-Taghleeb (to be put before or above s.th.) At-Tarjeeh in the Istilaah of the Usooliyeen:

Kuipa nguvu dalili moja kuliko nyingine ili kuifanyia kazi kutokana na kuwepo kwa jambo linalotofautisha ndani ya Dalili Ar-Raajih (dalili yenye uzito zaidi).

Giving strength to one of the two Daleels over the other in order to work with it due to the existence of a distinguishing factor within the Daleel Ar-Raajih (outweighing evidence).

Mfano wa At-Tarjeeh:

Example of At-Tarjeeh:

- ‘Aa’ishah (ra) na Umm Salamah (rah) wamesimulia: “Kwamba Nabii ﷺ alikuwa akiamka katika hali ya janaba baada ya kujamiiana, si kwa ndoto ya usingizini, kisha alikuwa akifunga (funga ya) Ramadhani.” (Bidaayat ul-Mujtahid Wa Nihaayat ul-Muqtasid, Ibn Rushd Al-Qurtubi)

- ‘Aa’ishah (ra) and Umm Salamah (rah) related: “That the Nabi (saw) used to awaken in a state of major impurity (Janaabah) after having engaged in sexual intercourse and not a wet dream and then fast (the fast of) Ramadan” (Bidaayat ul-Mujtahid Wa Nihaayat ul-Muqtasid, Ibn Rushd Al-Qurtubi.

- Alisema ﷺ:

- He (saw) said:

Hadithi ya kwanza inaonyesha kwamba Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alikuwa akikutana kimwili na mke wake katika Ramadhani kabla ya kuchomoza kwa alfajiri, na alikuwa akibaki katika hali ya janaba baada ya kuchomoza au kuanza kwa alfajiri, kisha alikuwa akifunga.

The first Hadeeth indicates that the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to have intimate relations in Ramadan before the rise of Fajr and remain in a state of major impurity (Janaabah) after the rising or start of Fajr, and then fast.

Hadith ya pili inaonyesha kwamba hakuna kufunga kwa yule aliye katika hali ya janaba wakati wa Alfajiri inapoingia.

The second Hadeeth indicates that there is no fasting for the one who is in a state of major impurity (Janaabah) when Fajr comes.

At-Tarjeeh (the outweighing): Hmm, the heading contains "At-Tarjeeh" and a parenthetical gloss in English. Translating to Swahili: **At-Tarjeeh (kurejesha uzito / kupendelea upande mmoja):**

At-Tarjeeh (the outweighing):

Hadithi ya kwanza ina uzito zaidi kwa sababu wapokezi wake ni ʿAisha na Umm Salama (radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao), ambao walikuwa wake wa Mtume ﷺ. Kwa hiyo walikuwa na ufahamu zaidi wa vitendo vya Mtume ﷺ kuhusu mambo yanayohusu maisha ya ndoa kuliko msimulizi wa hadithi ya pili (Abu Hurairah).

The first Hadeeth outweighs because its narrators are ‘Aa’ishah and Umm Salamah (rah) who were the wives of the Messenger of Allah (saw). They were therefore more aware of the actions of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in regards to that which is related to the marital life than the relator of the second Hadeeth (Abu Hurairah).

Kwa hiyo, sifa tofauti iliyoifanya Hadith ya kwanza kuwa na nguvu zaidi kuliko Hadith ya pili ni kwamba msimulizi wa Hadith ya kwanza alikuwa na ufahamu zaidi wa hali maalum ya Nabii ﷺ kuliko msimulizi wa Hadith ya pili.

Therefore, the distinguishing factor or attribute that made the first Hadeeth stronger than the second Hadeeth is due to the narrator being more aware of the particular situation of the Nabi (saw) than the narrator of the second Hadeeth.

Mfano mwingine:

Another example:

Abu Raafi’ alisimulia kwamba Nabii ﷺ alimwoa Maymuna akiwa ni Halali, yaani hakuwa katika hali ya Ihram kwa ajili ya Hija, kama ilivyopokewa na Ahmad na At-Tirmidhi.

- Abu Raafi’ related that the Nabi (saw) married Maymoonah whilst he was Halaal, meaning not in a state of Ihraam for Hajj, as recorded by Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi.
