Book Description
Towards Understanding Hadith: Exploring Ten Key Issues
In 1291/1875, during his stay in Hyderabad, Deccan, Imam al-Lakhnawi responded to ten questions concerning the hadith sciences posed by the Ahl-e-Hadith scholar Allamah Muhammad Husayn al-Lahawri, which resulted in this indispensable work.
The translator begins by providing a short biography of Imam Abd al-Hayy al-Lakhnawi. The text emphasizes the importance of the chain of narration (isnad) in all religious matters and discusses weak ahadith, their conditions, and implementation. It also evaluates various collections of ahadith and Quranic exegeses, assessing the authority of narrations within them. It offers a framework for resolving conflicting scholarly verdicts concerning hadith grading and narrator analysis and addresses how to navigate ostensibly conflicting hadith texts. Additionally, it explores the legal implications when a Companion does not implement a hadith he narrates and tackles situations where a Companion’s word or deed contradicts a Prophetic hadith.
The work’s value is enhanced by the teeming annotations from the esteemed Syrian scholar, Shaykh Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah. It is a crucial resource for anyone utilizing ahadith in any capacity and fills a gap in English-language literature on these topics.
