Description :

 

Nuzhatun Nazar fi Tawdihi Nukhbat al-Fikr : This text is the famous universally accepted work on the science of hadith nomenclature (mustalah al-hadith) and the authentication of transmitted reports. Nukhbat al-fikar (“Chosen Thoughts on the Nomenclature of Hadith Experts”) is by the renowned scholar of his time; the  Muhaddith al-Shaykh al-Imam al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, may Allah have mercy upon him, (773 - 835 After Hijri).


Ibn Hajar said that there were many books on the science of hadith, some were very brief, which didn't actually cover the most important topics, until ibn Salah gathered these important topics in one book. The students of ibn Hajar requested him to summarise the book of ibn Salah and he accepted their request and called it Nukhbat ul Fikr fi Mustalah Ahl al-Athar. Ibn Hajr has highlighted some important and beneficial points for the benefit of the student of knowledge. Ibn Hajar focuses on eight unique attributes of Nuzhatun Nazar.

About Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani -

He is 'Shaykh al Islam' Imam Al-Hafidh Abul Fadl Shihab ud-Din Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Kinani Ash-Shafi'i. Known as Ibn Hajar Al-'Asqalani, may Allah be pleased with him, he was born on Sha'ban 773H in Egypt. Ibn Hajr authored more than 150 books - most of them being in study of Hadith - which flourished during his lifetime, kings and princes were known in his time to exchange gifts consisting of Ibn Hajar's works. His other most famous book is Fath ul Baari fi Sharh Sahih Bukhari : a commentary on the superb collection of Hadith by Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail Al-Bukhari. (It is the most famous and well-informative commentary on Sahih Bukhari).


Al Hafidh Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani was a prominent Qadi in Egypt as well as in Ash-Sham for twenty-one years. He was humble, tolerant, and patient. He was described to be steadfast, prudent, ascetic, selfless, generous, charitable, and he spent much time in voluntary prayer and fasting. Those who came to know him praised him of his high standard of good mannerisms in dealing with rulers, Imams, as well as those who sat with him young or old. Ibn Hajar passed away in Dhu'l Hijjah in 852H.
