    APPLYING CENTRALITY MEASURE FOR BUKHARI AHADITH ONTOLOGY OF NARRATORS
    (An-Najah National University, 2023-10-05) Abu Rwais, Rola
    The two main sources of Islamic legislation are the Qur’an and Hadith. Ahadith are the narrations stemming from the sayings and deeds of the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). The narrators transmitted hadith of the Isnad from the Prophet, and the importance of the Isnad, Muslim’s keen interest in Isnad science because it helps to differentiate between accepted and rejected hadith, or in other words, authentic and weak hadith. Islamic scholars were the first to carefully study the Isnad to know and distinguish between trusted and non-trusted Ruwah, especially with the spread of Islam in non-Arabic countries and the increased number of Muslims from different cultures. This work depends on the ontology of narrations of Jihad and Seiar Ahadith in Sahih Al Bukhari in order to apply different ontological centrality measures to generate a set of numbers related to each Rawi. These numbers were investigated to study the importance and extent of involvement of a particular narrator in the process of narrating hadith. For each centrality measure applied, we studied the calculated numbers for each Rawi in order to show how these numbers are related to the Ruwah importance in terms of their concerns in narrations, the amounts of their efforts, and their ranks of the narration process. These results are compared with the manual efforts applied by Islamic studies that rely on the manual categorization of Ruwah. We identified a list of Mokthreen narrators from the Sahaba (e.g., Abu Horaira, Ibn Abbas, Ibn Omar, etc.) as well as the Mokthreen of narrators from the second and third-generation (e.g., Shoaaba Ibn Alhajjaj, Alzohre, Sofian Ibn Aoyayna, Sofian Althori, etc.) who contribute significantly in the propagation of hadith collected in Sahih Al-Bukhari. To the best of our knowledge, this comprehensive and systematic study is based on ontology, representing narrators as a graph to analyze their contribution to the preservation and dissemination of hadith. When comparing the results of the system with the traditional results, we obtained similar results, whether in the information of the narrator or his role in the process of narrating the hadith.
