Book Description
This book is a hadith collection that brings together a carefully selected group of musalsal narrations. These were received by the author through direct audition and face-to-face transmission from his teachers and are preserved with their specific characteristics and modes of transmission in accordance with the technical conventions of the hadith scholars. Thus, the work combines the honour of connected chains, precision in transmission, and the preservation of the manner in which the knowledge was received. Where needed, he draws attention to the judgements of scholars on the veracity of the hadiths included, presenting all of this in a concise and clear style that makes the discipline more accessible for students and researchers.
