ABOUT THE BOOK

is a classical Islamic text dedicated to the important science of identifying fabricated (مُوضَع) Hadith—narrations falsely attributed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Authored with precision and deep scholarly insight, this work systematically outlines the criteria and methodologies used by early scholars to distinguish authentic Prophetic traditions from forged or weak reports that later crept into hadith literature.

The book serves as a foundational reference for students of Hadith, scholars of Islamic knowledge, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how Hadith criticism developed historically. It explains the signs and indicators of fabrication, the motives behind weak and false reports, and the principles used by hadith critics to protect the integrity of the Prophetic Sunnah.
