Description : 

Imam Ahmad Rida al-Qadiri, may Allah be pleased with him, presents this work 'Al-Hadi al-Kaf fi Hukm ak-Di'af' with numerous arguments, offering proofs from the past that demonstrate how the position of the Ahl al-Sunnah w'al-Jama'ah has remained consistent for 1400 years.


In modern times, we witness an increasing tendency among certain groups to outrightly reject weak hadith, claiming they have no place even in matters of virtuous deeds. This absolutist stance not only contradicts 'countries' of scholarly wisdom but also oversimplifies the sophisticated methodology developed by the matters of hadith sciences. This book seeks to address such claims through a meticulous scholarly analysis, demonstrating that the traditional approach to 'weak hadith' is far more nuanced than what contemporary over simplifications suggest. 

If a hadiths weakness is due to fabrication, errors, contradictions, or any other strong reason, then even if it has multiple chains, it's weakness is not compensated. However, due to the abundance of chains it can rise from the level of rejected and denounced to the level of weak, which may be acted upon in virtues. 

This brief yet profound work by Imam Ahmad Rida al-Qadiri, may Allah be pleased with him, delves into the science of weak Hadith narrations. In modern times, there has been a shift in the understanding of weak Hadith, whereas in the past, the luminaries of Hadith science did not outright reject weak hadith, especially for virtuous actions. 

This book serves as both an introduction to advance hadith methodology and a reference work for understanding the traditional framework for evaluating and utilising weak hadith. It is beneficial for students of sacred knowledge, scholars, and those with a serious interest in hadith studies. Imam Ahmad Rida's extensive citations from authoritative sources provide readers with direct access to centuries of scholarly wisdom, carefully preserved and contextually presented. 

Al-Shaykh Al-Imam Ahmad Rida Khan al-Qadiri, al-Hanafi [referred to as AlaHadrat] : was a profoundly gifted Hanafi jurist and polymath of the late 20th century, hailing from the town of Bareilly, pre-partition India. A scholar whose erudition encompassed the entire scope of the Islamic sciences, he has undoubtedly left a lasting legacy on Islam in South Asia, defining the outlook and normative orientation of millions across the globe.
