Description :


Al-Isnad min al-Din wa Safahat Mushriqah min Tarikh Sima' al-Hadith 'Indal Muhaditheen - this work is a translation of an excellent risala which talks about the importance of Isnad (chain of transmission) in the traditional Islamic sciences. Ustadh Abu Ghudda’s comprehensive but concise work looks at this important topic through many different angles using a waste array of sources to illustrate his points.


This is a timely publication of an important work which will be of benefit to students of Sacred knowledge as well as the ordinary reader.


Isnad or chain of transmission – is a unique distinction of the Muslim Ummah, it is the means by which Muslims have verified the authenticity of religious texts (especially hadith literature) from the first generations of Islam. In this brilliant risala Shaykh Abu Ghudda shows the breadth and depth of his learning by taking a traditional Islamic saying about isnad and showing the importance of this to be integral to the development and transmission of Islamic teachings. Isnad also plays an important part by which Islamic scholarship was verified and certificates of authorisations (ijazas) would be issued, thus establishing a chain between a scholar and student.





Shaykh 'Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda (1917-1997) was a leading scholar of the traditional Islamic sciences specialising in hadith. He was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1917. He was considered as one of the outstanding scholars of the 20th century. Shaykh Abu Ghuddah as well as a renowned scholar of Hadith was a scholar of the Hanafi school of Fiqh.
