Dawrah Year
HAD 610: Hadith (Prophetic Traditions)

Begins with an introduction to the study of Imam Muhammad ibn Isma’il al-Bukhari’s famed “Al-Jami’ Al-Musnad As-Sahih Al-Mukhtasar min Umur Rasul Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam wa Sunanihi wa Ayyamihi”. This class has 2 sessions. In the first session, students will cover a detailed explanation and commentary of the entire book, from the Chapter of Revelation (bad’i-al-wahi) to the Chapter of Praiseworthy Qualities (manaqib). Lectures will focus on understanding the meanings of the hadiths as well as all related legal commentary. In the second session, Students will begin the course with the Chapter on the Prophet’s Campaigns (maghazi) and continue until the entire book and its related commentary is completed. In both Bukhari classes, special emphasis is placed on understanding Imam Bukhari’s choice of chapter headings and his oft-repeated statement, “Some people said…”.

HAD 620: Hadith (Prophetic Traditions)

The study of Imam Muslim’s Sahih focuses on the commentary of the chapters on faith (iman) and selected chapters on business and civil law.

The study of Imam Tirmidhi’s famous hadith collection will focus on the jurisprudence of the prophetic narrations. In this course, students will analyze the hadiths to gain a greater understanding of the legal evidences employed by the great jurists of Islam. A comparative study of the opinions of each school of jurisprudence will be accompanied by an in-depth analysis of their evidences and reasons why certain opinions were given preference over others.

Book: Jāmi’ al-Tirmidhī

HAD 640: Hadith (Prophetic Traditions)

Imam Abu Dawud’s book is unique amongst the large collections of hadith due to its excellent organizational scheme and presentation of juristic evidences.

Book: Sunan Abi Dāwūd

HAD 650: Hadith (Prophetic Traditions)

The study of Imam Nasa’i’s Sunan emphasizes recognizing the subtle details of hadith chains.
