Description
This book offers a hands-on, methodologically rigorous introduction to the science of hidden defects in ḥadīth (ʿIlal al-Ḥadīth) and the critical evaluation of narrators. Drawing on years of teaching, research, and scholarly engagement at the postgraduate level, the author guides readers through carefully selected applied case studies that demonstrate how defects arise, how they are detected, and how scholarly disagreements are weighed and resolved.
Combining practical analysis with a concise theoretical framework, the work equips students and researchers with clear procedural tools for examining isnāds, assessing narrators, and arriving at sound judgments on disputed ḥadīths. It is an invaluable resource for advanced students of ḥadīth sciences and anyone seeking to move from theory to disciplined scholarly practice.
