Al-Mustadrak of al-Hâkim and al-Dhahabî’s Talkhîs

The following two articles are taken from Islamtoday.com. The first is a question answered by Dr. Hatim al-Awni, a well-known, specialized scholar of Hadith who teaches at Umm al-Quraa University in Makkah. The second is taken from Dr. Bashshâr `Awwâd Ma`rûf’s introduction to his critical edition of Jami’ at-Tirmidhi. He is another leading, well-known scholar of Hadith. Both of these shed considerable light on al-Hakim’s Mustadrak as well as al-Dhahabi’s Talkhis which is a summary of al-Mustadrak:

Answered by Sheikh Muhammad al-Qannâs

The Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to collect all the sayings and actions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and relate them among themselves and memorise them.

Some of the Companions used to keep written records during the era of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Writings from this time period include the document of Abû Bakr al-Siddîq regarding Zakâh, the document of `Ali b. Abî Tâlib discussing the age classifications of camels and something about injury compensation, and the document authored by `Abd Allah b. `Amr b, al-`Âs entitled al-Sahîfah al-Sâdiqah.

Shaykh al-Azamī Replies to Some Orientalist Deception Concerning Hadith

In the following article, On Calder’s Organically Grown Text with Emphasis on Muwatta of Malik, which is taken from islaam.com, Shaykh Muṣtafā al-A’ẓamī responds to the false claims of an Orientalist surrounding the Ḥadīth literature.
