Towards Understanding the Science of Hadith


Saturday 10 - Sunday 11th November 2007 (Weekend Intensive)


The science of hadith is the noblest means of attaining closeness to the Lord of the Worlds

- Imam Nawawi

The subject of the science of Hadith is the Sunnah, it has no other objective or pretension. It is simply an attempt to record the Sunnah of the noble Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), his sayings, actions and qualities.

The Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) made a great amount of effort to be in the company of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), and to record and cherish all of his sayings and actions. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), in particular, had an agreement with another companion that they would alternate the time they spent with the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace). One would go out and work to provide for his family, while the other would stay with the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) and record all that he said and did. At the end of the day, the two would share what they had learned.

Ahadith form an invaluable bridge – crossing a period of over fourteen hundred years to a time when the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) learnt at the feet of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace).

This weekend intensive course gives students a rare insight into the specialised field of Ilmul Hadith, the science of the study of Hadith,touching upon critical aspects, such as the science of “Jarh wa Ta’deel” (examination of the narrators) and the classification of Hadith.

Traditional scholars often repeat the saying: “Whoever masters the teaching texts masters the disciplines”(man haqqaqa al-mutun haza al-funun). Our qualified teachers thoroughly and closely guide beginners through traditional Islamic works, (Bustan al Muhadithin and the unpublished Qawaid fi uloomul Hadith), thus enabling them to experience the beauty of this complex, yet
fascinating, science.

Having successfully completed the course, our students will be left with a greater appreciation for the wealth of knowledge we have inherited and begin to recognise the intrinsic relationship between Hadith and Fiqh.

Ultimately, in realising the eloquent and comprehensive nature of Hadith, the course aims to inspire greater affection for the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), and increase closeness to our Lord.

Course Materials

On enrolment you will be given a binder full of notes and important reading material. The pack will also contain your very own free copy of Bustan al Muhaditheen (Turath Publishing) (http://www.turathpublishing.co.uk/), an invaluable reference text (RRP £16.95).

1. Qawa'id fi Ulum al-Hadith

In this remarkable work the author examines the science of hadith quoting substantially from the acknowledged masters of Jarh (critical evaluation): Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti, Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, adh-Dhahabi et al. He examines the science of isnad with a scientific thoroughness that has simply never been done before in the English language. This book will prove indispensable for any serious student of hadith.

2. The Garden of the Hadith Scholars
by Shah Abd Al Aziz Ad-Dehlawi (1745-1822),

Bustan al Muhaditheen is a well-known anthology of hadith sciences, major books of hadith and Muhaditheen. Originall written in Persian in the early nineteenth century by Shah Abd Al Aziz Ad-Dehlawi (1745-1822), it has been extremely popular among scholars of hadith in India ever since. It surpasses other books written on the same subject in Arabic, Persian and other languages. The Garden of the Hadith Scholars was translated into Arabic by Muhammad Akram an-Nadwi. The book before us is the translation by 'Aishah Bewley, perhaps the most distinguished living translator from classical Arabic, of the Bustan al Muhaditheen. This extraordinary work by Imam 'Abd al-'Aziz (1159 to 1239 AH), the son of Shah Wali Allah Ad-Dihlawi, is a masterful account of the major Hadith collections and their authors. Replete with information on these great men and their books, this work will be indispensable for the serious student of Hadith
