About the Book: The Muslims in general believe that the Qur’an has been preserved intact and pure by Allah Himself. But what is often forgotten by many is that this preservation necessarily includes the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S), the practical example of the implementation of the Qur’an.
Hadith is Sunnah in record. How the immense wealth of Hadith literature has been left to us by the Muhaddiths (scholars of Hadith) is an extremely wide, complex study. We publish this short treatise on “the science of Hadith” by the learned Suhaib Hasan with English readers in mind. It is part of our scheme to introduce various aspects of Islam to English readers. May Allah (swt) accept it.
Ammar Awais –
The main focus of this book is on the different classifications of Hadith. What are the methodologies of classifying ahadith into different categories? What are the various criteria that a hadith must fulfill to be classified as sahih? How does the number of narrators of a hadith influence its acceptability? Such questions have been answered in relatively simple terms by the author. This book also gives the reader an idea of why disagreements arise among the scholars regarding the acceptability of various ahadith.
