Book in english about narration of Abu Hurayra (raa)

[al-kulayni]

Assalamu Aleykum,

Good book in english about Abu Hurayra (raa) written by Usman Ghani

"This research, entitled: ‘Abu Hurayra’ a Narrator of Hadith Revisited: An Examination into the Dichotomous Representations of an Important Figure in Hadith with special reference to Classical Islamic modes of Criticism, will discuss specifically Abu Hurayra the Companion of the Prophet Muhammad and his alleged status as a prolific narrator of the Hadith. The aim of this study is to highlight how Abu Hurayra is depicted and perceived by both Classical Hadith Scholarship and Modern Hadith Scholarship. Furthermore, the central argument of this thesis is that the charge of Abu Hurayra being a Mukthir (a prolifically active narrator who embellished his reports) is unfair for the simple reason that those traditions he uniquely transmits are rather small in number. Most of the other traditions with which his name is associated have concomitant and parallel isnads (Chains of Narration). This study therefore sets out to critically examine and analyse the life and narrations of Abu Hurayra in view of the academic debates on the wider issues of the authenticity of the sources and how they affect the arguments put forward by this research."

Walaikum Salam,


Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.

assalam alaikoum

I've skimmed through the work, it's very interesting.
But I'm a little bit disappointed by the third part ie the corroborations and isolated reports of Abu Hurayra ra.
How is it useful to compare the number of uncorroborated reports of Abu Hurayra with the total number of chains of transmission reported by other companions?
He should have performed the work for all major companions (compare tables page 217 and 223).

Salam bro,

The first book is excellent, very academic. The second one is good enough.

[zichan]

This book written by Abd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAlī al-Nāṣir seems to be very good.

[al-kulayni]

Good idea sameer, i think even the website should have a section with arabic, english, farsi, other langages books.

[scusemyenglish]

Barakala ou fik I'm very happy!

Yersterday one shia talk me about the Hadith of Musa and his cloth for deffame Abou Hourayra
