As observed in the hadith interpretive discourse, an interpreter or commentator of hadith does not only explain the meaning and the message of a hadith, but rather occasionally deals with obscure, perplexing, difficult, conflicting or conflictive, as well as contradicting texts.

This has been acknowledged not as a modern phenomenon, but it is as old as the beginning of the encounter between human rationality and hadith.

In the modern scholarship of hadith, two sub areas have been established to engage with this subject: the study of mukhtalif al-hadith (contradictory hadith) and the more general study of mushkil al-hadith (problematic hadith). Both have contributed to the construct of strategies and principles in dealing with a particular type of problem in the hadith language.
