An Introduction to the Science of the Noble Hadith VOL 1

This is the much-anticipated book that Alhamdulillah a lot of students have been waiting for and has taken over 5 years to compile.
If you’re in the fourth year, fifth year or sixth year of the Darse Nizami programme or a graduated Alim or even an academic, and you want to learn more about the codification of hadith and the various books written in the field of hadith, then this is the book for you.

This book begins with an introduction to the codification of hadith, then an appreciation of the critical methodology of the muhaddithun, then a discussion on the common narrators of hadith, and then the entire process of takhrij is explained with a detailed introduction on many different books of hadith. The book contains the biographies of over 25 important scholars of hadith (including Ibn Hajar, Al-Iraqi, Al-Dhahabi, Al-Mizzi, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Sa’d, Al-Suyuti, Al-Bayhaqi, Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr, Al-Khatib, Abu Ya’la, Ibn Khuzaymah, Imam Ahmad, Al-Tabarani, Al-Bazzar, Mughlatay, Al-Hakim, Al-Zayla’i, Ibn al-Athir, Muhammad Ibn Sa’d, Al-Haythami, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Harith Ibn Abi Usamah, Musaddad Ibn Musarhad, Al-Daruqutni).

The book is filled with charts, diagrams and pictures of books to give a visual of every book. Not only this, but sample pages of important books are also shown. To add a cherry to the cake, the important books are also supplemented with a QR code that takes you to the pdfs of these books.

Unlike usual English books, this book maintains the Arabic quotes to give the statements of the scholars an authentic feel with everything referenced. The death dates of scholars are also maintained to allow students to remember their death dates.

For those who would like a guide to the book with the author teaching the entire book, the book contains a QR code at the start that will allow you to access this tremendous course which has over 30 hours of content.

It is hoped that Madaris place this book into their syllabus as the book can actually be taught very quickly. I sincerely make Du’a to Allah Ta’ala that the book is used in Madaris and students are taught the book as a part of their Darse Nizami syllabus. I also make Du’a to Allah Ta’ala that teachers who teach Takhassus fil-Hadith also include this book in their syllabus.
