1. شهادة ميرجليوث
نقرا من كتاب ميرجليوث Lectures on arabic Historians الصفحة 20 :
But though the theory of Isnad has occasioned endless trouble owing to the inquiries which have to be made into the trustworthiness of each transmitter and the fabrication of traditions was a familiar and at times easily tolerated practice, its value in making for accuracy cannot be questioned and the muslims are justified in taking pride in their science of tradition .

2. شهادة برنارد لويس
نقرا من كتاب برنارد لويس Islam in History الصفحة 104 - 105 :
From an early date Muslim scholars recognised the danger of false testimony and hence of false doctrine and developed an elaborate science for criticising tradition. "Traditional science"as it was called, differed in many respects from modern historical sources and criticism, and modern scholarship has often disagreed with the evaluations to tradition scientists about the authenticity and accuracy of ancient narratives. But their careful scrutiny of the chains of transmission and their meticulous collection and preservation of variants in the transmitted narratives give to medieval Arab historiography a professionalism and sophistication without precedent in antiquity and without parallel in the contemporary medieval West. By comparison the historiography of Latin Christendom seems poor and meager, and even the more advanced and complex historiography of Greek Christendom still falls short of the historical literature of Islam in Volume, variety and analytical depth. For Sunni Muslims - The Shia' take a different view- God's community was the embodiment of God's design for mankind, and its history providentially guided, revealed the working out of God's purpose. An accurate knowledge of history was therefore supremely important, since it could provide authoritative guidance in both the profoundest problems of religion and the most practical matters of law.
هذا وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد و على اله وصحبه وسلم
