东方学家对阿拉伯—伊斯兰文化的研究

东方学家很早便开始了对圣训的研究，并将其作为对阿拉伯—伊斯兰文化研究的一个重要组成部分。他们大多数人基于对伊斯兰教的偏见而对圣训存有天然的误读，或是消极以对，或是完全否定。即便如此，东方学家还是取得了较大的成就，有关圣训的词典编撰既方便了学者研究，也满足了穆斯林的需求。然而，东方学家在圣训研究中难以摆脱基督教的思维模式，这注定了其研究的不足与缺陷。东方学家与阿拉伯学者之间只有吸收彼此有益的成分，才能真正为文明对话开辟道路。

Orientalists＇ Research on Arab-Islamic Culture

The Orientalists started their research on Hadiths very early and made it as an important part of their research on slam——Arab Culture. Most of them have their natural misreading on Hadiths based on their bias against Islam. They either treated it negatively, or negated it as a whole. Even so, Orientalists still made substantial achievements. Their complication of dictionaries on Hadiths not only made things convenient for research of the scholars, but also satisfied the demands of Muslims. The Orientalists couldn＇t shake off their Christian mode of thinking. This doomed to the inadequacy and defect in their research. The Orientalists and the Arab scholars need to absorb the beneficial composition from each other and pave the way for the dialogue between civilizations.
