The Common-Link Theory, invented by Joseph Schacht and widely accepted in modern scholarship, argues that hadith authorities knowingly and purposefully placed traditions in circulation with little care to support these hadiths with satisfactory isnads. G. H. A. Juynboll, Michael Cook and other Schachtians subsequently embraced and elaborated upon this theory. This dissertation challenges the accuracy of Schacht's founding theory. / Dans sa théorie du common-link (lien commun), Joseph Schacht soutient que les compilateurs de hadith faisant autorité ont sciemment et délibérément propagé des traditions dont l'excellence des chaînes de transmission pouvait être mise en doute. Ce point de vue a subséquemment trouvé de nombreux adhérents parmi les orientalistes. G. H. A. Juynboll, Michael Cook et d'autres ont épousé les vues de Schacht et ont su en tirer d'autres applications. Dans la présente thèse, nous contestons la justesse de la théorie de Schacht.
