Al-Mumtahina
Al-Mumtaḥanah ( ar, الممتحنة, translated "She That Is To Be Examined", "Examining Her") is the 60th chapter (''sura'') of the Quran, a Medinan sura with 13 verses. Summary The first verse warns Muslims not to make alliance with the enemies of God. Verses 4–6 provide Abraham as a model for this, as he distanced himself from the pagans of his own tribe, including his own father. Verses 7 to 9 declare the possibility that Muslims and their erstwhile enemy might have better relations ("It may be that God will forge affection between you and those of them with whom you are in enmity") if the former enemy stops fighting the Muslims. These verses provide basis for the relations of Muslims and non-Muslims according to the Quran: the basic relation is peace unless the Muslims are attacked, or when war is justified to stop injustice or protect the religion. The next following verses (10–12) address some matters of Islamic law. They declare marriages between Muslims and p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sunan An-Nasa'i
''Al-Sunan al-Sughra'' ( ar, السنن الصغرى), also known as ''Sunan al-Nasa'i'' ( ar, سنن النسائي), is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadiths), and was collected by al-Nasa'i (214 – 303 AH; c. 829 – 915 CE). Description Sunnis regard this collection as the third most important of their six major hadith collections. ''Al-Mujtaba'' (English: the selected) has about 5,270 hadiths, including repeated narrations, which the author selected from his larger work, ''As-Sunan al-Kubra''. Within Kutub al-Sittah, it is considered the most authentic book of hadith (narrations of Muhammad) after the Sahihayn (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim) by most scholars of hadith. Views According to al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar, the book of Sunan an-Nasa'i contains the fewest da‘eef (weak) hadiths and majrooh narrators among the six books after the Saheehain (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim); there is not a single mawdhoo (fabricated) hadith in it.

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
''Al-adab al-mufrad'' ( ar, الأدب المفرد) is a topical book of hadiths collected by Muhammad al-Bukhari addressing the question of perfecting Muslim manners. Description The book has hadith about the manners of Islamic prophet Muhammad. It has 1,322 hadiths. This book is overshadowed by Imam al-Bukhari's other book, the classic collection of hadiths, ''al-Jami' al-Sahih.'' Although ''al-Adab al-Mufrad'' was also a significant work of his, Imam al-Bukhari did not make it a requirement that the hadiths within ''al-Adab al-Mufrad'' meet the very strict and stringent conditions of authenticity which he laid down for his ''al-Jami' al-Sahih''. However, based on the writings of later scholars who explained, commented and/or traced and classified the chains of narration within al-Adab al-Mufrad, most of the narrations within it were ruled to be authentic or at the least sound.

As for the contradictory , he states under the heading of 'Meat acquired by hunting for a pilgrim': "if there are two contradictory reports from the Prophet (SAW), an investigation should be made to establish what his companions have adopted". He wrote in his letter to the people of Mecca: "I have disclosed wherever there was too much weakness in regard to any tradition in my collection. But if I happen to leave a Hadith without any comment, it should be considered as sound, albeit some of them are more authentic than others".
