Abstract

This paper aims at study one aspect of the preference among the narrators by the critics. It is the words of “he is more loved to me” which is one of the relative preferences. It aims to explain this aspect of critical judgments theoretically in the critics, and then extrapolate this term fully in four books of sources of Ilalu Hadith. This term has lingual connotation and terminological connotation. Critics usually use this term for its terminological connotation. This paper aims to make sure if the critics used this term in some contexts in the lingual connotation which implies to the sense of tendency towards people of issues. The study reached some results, the prevalence of this type of the preference with critics, especially in the weighting between the narrators who are similar to each other in credibility and justice. This type of preference, if it is given in the original contexts, is a terminological judgment for weighting between narrators, especially when it is accompanied by a statement of its reasons and the outcome of the judgment in both narrators, and if it is given in the secondary contexts, it can be noticed the effect of selftendency, and reflected the critic personal opinions and his own choices.
