According to Illama Ibn-e-Jozi a well known scholar of Islam has given the following prinples of ahadees, all the ahadees can be judeged on the following principle and if they contradict any of these then hadees should be rejected.
Other than these there are tests related to the chain of narrators which is a complete science in itself known as Science of Men (Ilm-e-Rijal)
None of the scholars i red have rejected or objected these principles.( if there are any please do let me know)
they are as follows:
(*) Quran Majeed say mu’aariz ho
(*) Aqal.o.fehm kay munafi ya mu’ariz ho
(*) Sunnat-e-Nabvi (SAAW) say mu’ariz ho
(*)Mamooli ghalati per Sakht saza aur choti c naiki per ijr-e-azeem ka wada ho
(*) Kisi asool-e-Musl’lima say mu’ariz ho
(*) Mutawatir Hadees say mu’ariz ho
(*) Ijma-e-qat’ee aur yaqeni say mu’ariz
(*) Mehsoosat aur mushahidat say mu’ariz ho
(*) rakeek.ul.ma’inay ho aur uss per lagho ka shaq ho
(*) ussay sirf eak ravi riwayat karay halankay uss maiN aisa koy waqaya ho ju sab koy maloom hona chahiyee
