Abstract

Fundamentalists will find that they use accurate and precise words which cannot be replaced by other words even if these words are very close in meaning to scholars' basic words

Among these words used by scholars is the word "I don't like that". This word was used by Scholars of Jurisprudence in specific way not as literary authors، noting that not all Jurisprudence scholars used this word a lot. In this research، I tried to reveal and explain Imam Ahmed use of this word; and I found that he used it only for reasons such as:

  • Contravention to the text even if this contravention is ostensibly
  • Absence of purposes
  • Existence of prohibition (Haram) probability
  • Probability of circumvention and deception
  • Absence of great carefulness
  • Non-consideration of circumstances

The word "I don't like" for Imam Ahmed was not limited to Jurisprudential field، but he used it as a term in Hadith Terminology and this is obvious in this research.
