مجمع الزوائد ومنبع الفوائد للإمام الهيثمي ٢٣ مجلد مع الفهارس العامة

This is a must-have book for all students who have studied the six famous books of Hadith (Kutub al-Sittah)!

In this book, under the instruction of his teacher and father-in-law, Ḥāfiẓ Zayn al-Dῑn al-‘Irāqῑ Raḥimahullah (d.806 AH), Ḥāfiẓ Nūr al-Dῑn al-Haythamῑ Raḥimahullah (d.807 AH) has gathered the narrations found in the following books that are not found in the six famous books of Ḥadῑth:

1) Musnad Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal
2) Musnad Abῑ Ya‛lā al-Mawṣili
3) Musnad al-Bazzār
4) Al-Mu’jam al-Kabῑr
5) Al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ
6) Al-Mu’jam al-Ṣaghῑr

These are all books that have compiled Ahadith according to the Sahabah who have narrated them. Ḥāfiẓ al-Haythamῑ raḥimahullah (d.807 AH) has removed from these books those Aḥādῑth that are found in the six famous books and has then ordered them according to the chapters of Fiqh. The title of the book was also chosen by his teacher Ḥāfiẓ al-‘Irāqῑ Raḥimahullah (d.806 AH).

As per the guidance of his teacher Ḥāfiẓ Zayn al-Dῑn al-‘Irāqῑ Raḥimahullah (d.806), Ḥāfiẓ Nūr al-Dῑn al-Haythamῑ Raḥimahullah (d.807 AH) has left out the chain of narrations from the authors of the books covered to the Prophet sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam in this compilation. Nonetheless, he comments on each narration in terms of criticism (Al-Jarḥ) and approval (Al-Ta‛dil) of the narration.

The importance of this book is emphasised by the fact that it contains Aḥadῑth of books, such as Al-Mu’jam al-Kabir (المعجم الكبير), that have not yet been found in their entirety.

The previous edition of the book printed by Husam al-Din al-Qudsi was incomplete. This critical edition – printed using manuscripts that were copied from the copy used by Hafiz Ibn Hajar – is a masterpiece worked on by the talented Muhaqqiq Husayn Salim Asad who spent 25 years continuously working on it!
