My comment on this page is just that I find the section on "The significance of hadith" full of sentences that are so cumbersome as to have their meaning obfuscated. This means that the section leaves the reader wondering whether hadith are considered valid or not in supporting one view or the other of the Qur'an. Maybe just some punctuation is missing. I found these two especially difficult to follow:

"Where the Qur’an is understood as the word of God, and the words and example of the Prophet transmitted through hadith also attain to divine significance, if the Qur’an cannot be taken to assert its own createdness, for the doctrine of createdness to be true the traditions would have to support it. Indeed, to admit the insufficiency of the hadith corpus to adjudicate what with the institution of the mihna becomes such a visible dispute would necessarily marginalize the authority of traditions."

I mean no disrespect to the section author, but could someone have a look at this?Minissa (talk) 03:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty to centralize the discussion here where it is more relevant. --HyperGaruda (talk) 06:45, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
