Abstract

In this study, the researcher delved into the rare expression "kallah wajhah" (lit. "his face frowned") frequently used by scholars of criticism and authentication. This research elucidated its intended meaning based on a comprehensive review of scholarly discourse and a linguistic analysis drawing from language books and dictionaries. Additionally, it provided a brief introduction to the scholars who employed this expression. Through the inquiry raised, it has been discovered that the interpretation of this expression varies significantly. For narrators described as "kallah wajhah," it became evident that they were reliable and accurate in their narration of Hadith. Similarly, for the majority of narrators characterized by this expression, it indicated their eloquence and proficiency in Hadith narration. This conclusion was reached after meticulously studying these statements and comparing them with the opinions of experts in the field. This research sheds light on the nuanced understanding and implications of the term "kallah wajhah" within the context of narrator criticism and authentication.
