Data mining in Sciences of the prophet’s tradition in general and in impeachment and amendment in particular

Abstract

This paper presents the research background of a platform offering an illustrative graphic based decision aid tool enabling the expert of Hadith to easily observe the chain with chains connected to it as well as its weaknesses and strengthens as per the available evaluations. This enables the expert to rapidly identify where he/she should go in depth (specific narrator, place, period of time, connection to another chain, etc...). We also offer an additional tool that helps for decision making namely the link between Hadith’s content and timing to Qur’an. For example the Hadiths related to the pledge of satisfaction (or pledge of the tree: بيعة الرضوان أو البيعة تحت الشجرة) are connected to Sourat Al-Fath (Chapter 48 of the Qur’an).
