An Introduction to the Science of the Noble Hadith
ABOUT THE BOOK
An Introduction to the Science of the Noble Hadith by Mufti Muadh Chati is a comprehensive English-language guide to Ulum al-Hadith (the sciences of Hadith), designed particularly for advanced students of Islamic knowledge, Alimiyyah students, graduates and researchers.
Compiled over a period of more than five years, this detailed work introduces readers to the historical development, codification, methodology and literature of Hadith scholarship.
The book begins by examining the codification of Hadith and the critical methodology employed by the Muhaddithun (Hadith scholars). It then explores prominent Hadith narrators, the principles and process of Takhrij (Hadith referencing and source identification), and the major collections and reference works of Hadith literature.
A particularly valuable feature is its biographical coverage of more than 25 influential Hadith scholars, including Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Imam al-Dhahabi, al-Iraqi, al-Mizzi, Ibn Kathir, Imam al-Suyuti, Imam al-Bayhaqi, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Imam al-Daruqutni, among others.
