Critique of Khalid Al-Juhany's Hadith on Alluqtah / Turky Fahd Abdullah Al-Ghumeiz

This research studies the Hadith of Khalid Al-Juhany on alluqtah (lost property). It aims to: identify and extensively document the tracks of that Hadith; evaluate all the tracks; and locate and establish the validity of any extras that may appear in the Hadith's versions. Methodologically, the research uses an inductive, descriptive approach, as well as an analytical, deductive approach. The study reveals the following: the Hadith under investigation is considered the most important with respect to alluqtah, and is ranked as "sahih"; it has four tracks; and invalid extras in the Haith are identified. The research recommends that due attention be given to competent inquiry into the Hadiths that are basic to core issues, with particular emphasis on differences and textual extras in versions
