Traditions (Hadith) are records of actions, statements, and descriptions of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him and his family). As these traditions are a key source of Islamic law, thought, culture, and life – second only to the Qur’an itself – this course aims to derive points of benefit from the Prophetic traditions. Studying the principles of hadith classification and terminology is a significant component of hadith studies. This course covers the types of chains of transmission (asanid), types of acceptable narrations (maqbul), and the types of rejected narrations (mardud).
