Musannaf Of Abd Al-Razzaq
The ''Musannaf'' of Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanʿani ( ar, مصنف عبد الرزاق الصنعاني, translit=Muṣannaf ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Sanʿānī) is an early hadith collection compiled by the eighth-century Yemeni scholar ʽAbd al-Razzaq al-Sanʽani. As a collection of the ''musannaf'' genre, it contains over 18,000 traditions arranged in topical order. History Compilation Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanʿani likely compiled the ''musannaf'' in the second half of the second Hijri century after studying under Ma'mar ibn Rashid, Ibn Jurayj and Sufyan al-Thawri during their respective visits to Yemen. In a sample of 3,810 traditions analysed by Harald Motzki, the majority were largely transmitted from the three. As these three had compiled their own individual written hadith collections, al-Sanʿani's ''musannaf'' is considered to be a collation of older works. There are also relatively small numbers of traditions from Sufyan ibn ʽUyaynah, Abu Hanifa and Malik ibn Anas, among many ot ...

ʽAbd Al-Razzaq Al-Sanʽani
Abd al-Razzaq ibn Hammam ibn Nafi al-Sanani (, 744-827 CE, 126–211 AH), was an eighth-century Yemeni hadith scholar purportedly of Persian descent who compiled a hadith collection known as the ''Musannaf'' of Abd al-Razzaq. Biography Abd al-Razzaq was born in 126 AH/744 CE to a father who was a hadith scholar. He was a mawla of the Banu Himyar, hence his ''nisba'' ''al-Himyari''. At the age of 20, he began his studies in Sanaa where he was a student of Ma'mar ibn Rashid for eight years, also learning under Ibn Jurayj, Sufyan ibn ʽUyaynah and Sufyan al-Thawri. In pursuit of hadith, Abd al-Razzaq journeyed to the Hejaz, Syria and Iraq; when attending the lectures of scholars to learn hadith through audition, he would reportedly bring several stationers with him to assist in recording them. In the latter half of the second Hijri century, he compiled his own ''musannaf'', consisting mostly of traditions transmitted by his teachers. He would also teach hadith himself; among thos ...

Sufyan Ibn ʽUyaynah
Abū Muḥammad Sufyān ibn ʽUyaynah ibn Maymūn al-Hilālī al-Kūfī ( ar, ابو محمد سفيان بن عيينة بن ميمون الهلالي الكوفي) (725 – ) was a prominent eighth-century Islamic religious scholar from Mecca. He was from the third generation of Islam referred to as the Tābiʽu al-Tābiʻīn, "the followers of the followers". He specialized in the field of hadith and Qur'an exegesis and was described by al-Dhahabī as ''shaykh al-Islam''—a preeminent Islamic authority. Some of his students achieved much renown in their own right, establishing schools of thought that have survived until the present. Biography Ibn ʽUyaynah's father, ʽUyaynah ibn Abī ʻImrān, was originally from Kufa in present day Iraq where he was a governor for Khālid ibn ʻAbdillāh al-Qasrī. However, when al-Qasrī was removed from his position his successor sought out his governors causing ʽUyaynah to flee to Mecca where he then settled. Ibn ʽUyaynah was bor ...

Sunni Literature
Sunni Islam () is the largest branch of Islam, followed by 85–90% of the world's Muslims. Its name comes from the word ''Sunnah'', referring to the tradition of Muhammad. The differences between Sunni and Shia Muslims arose from a disagreement over the succession to Muhammad and subsequently acquired broader political significance, as well as theological and juridical dimensions. According to Sunni traditions, Muhammad left no successor and the participants of the Saqifah event appointed Abu Bakr as the next-in-line (the first caliph). This contrasts with the Shia view, which holds that Muhammad appointed his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor. The adherents of Sunni Islam are referred to in Arabic as ("the people of the Sunnah and the community") or for short. In English, its doctrines and practices are sometimes called ''Sunnism'', while adherents are known as Sunni Muslims, Sunnis, Sunnites and Ahlus Sunnah. Sunni Islam is sometimes referred ...

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah
''Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah'' ( ar, مصنف ابن ابي شىيبه) is one of the well-known compilations of Hadith (narrations) of Mohammad, his predecessors and companions. These prophetic traditions, or hadith, were collected by Muslim scholar Ibn Abi Shaybah (159H-235H). Description It is one of the largest compilations of Hadiths, including more than thirty seven thousand (37,000) Hadiths. The goal of these authors was to collect whatever they found, not to extract the best, nor to refine them, nor to make them more accessible for use. One of the goals Ibn Abi Shaybah had was to refute the jurist, Abu Hanifa with a whole chapter in his compilation attacking his views. Shaybah narrated reports from predecessors about each subject area, including the controversial topics of discussions between Muslims, like the Battle of Siffin, the Battle of the Camel, the Battle of Nahrawan and the death of the 3rd Caliph, Uthman. It includes Ahaadeeth classified as saheeh (sound), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kutub Al-Sittah
The ''Kutub al-Sittah'' ( ar-at, ٱلْكُتُب ٱلسِّتَّة, al-Kutub as-Sittah, lit=the six books) are six (originally five) books containing collections of ''hadith'' (sayings or acts of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) compiled by six Sunni Muslim scholars of Persian origin in the ninth century CE, approximately two centuries after the death of Muhammad. They are sometimes referred to as ''al-Sihah al-Sittah'', which translates as "The Authentic Six". They were first formally grouped and defined by Ibn al-Qaisarani in the 11th century, who added Sunan ibn Majah to the list. Since then, they have enjoyed near-universal acceptance as part of the official canon of Sunni Islam. Not all Sunni Muslim jurisprudence scholars agree on the addition of Ibn Majah. In particular, the Malikis and Ibn al-Athir consider al-Muwatta' to be the sixth book. The reason for the addition of Ibn Majah's Sunan is that it contains many Hadiths which do not figure in the other five, wh ...

Ijazah
An ''ijazah'' ( ar, الإِجازَة, "permission", "authorization", "license"; plural: ''ijazahs'' or ''ijazat'') is a license authorizing its holder to transmit a certain text or subject, which is issued by someone already possessing such authority. It is particularly associated with transmission of Islamic religious knowledge. The license usually implies that the student has acquired this knowledge from the issuer of the ''ijaza'' through first-hand oral instruction, although this requirement came to be relaxed over time. An ''ijaza'' providing a chain of authorized transmitters going back to the original author often accompanied texts of '' hadith'', '' fiqh'' and '' tafsir''; but also appeared in mystical, historical, and philological works, as well as literary collections. While the ''ijaza'' is primarily associated with Sunni Islam, the concept also appears in the hadith traditions of Twelver Shia. George Makdisi, professor of oriental studies, theorized that the ''ija ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
