Criticisms directed to muslim regarding the transmission of mawquf ahadith as Merfû (The case of Tetebbuʿ)

In his Tetebbuʿ Dârekutnî criticized Muslim's Sahîh as it contains mu'allal traditions. Most of Dârekutnî's criticisms are related to isnads. This study deals with the criticisms that are directed to Muslim in Tetebbuʿ on the grounds that he sometimes relates hadith mawquf as marfû and this is also one of the frequent reasons of ʿilal. First of all, Dârekutnî's method in Tetebbuʿ is analyzed and later on, the factoes on which Muslim prefers between marfû and mawquf are tried to be established. Finally, it is discussed whether the criticisms in question are significant to the degree that they will vitiate the soundness of Muslim's Sahîh.
