Types of Ahaadith

• The Hadith of the Prophet is categorized into three main types.
• Ahaadith of Al-Huffaath Al-Mutqineen are considered reliable and are included in Hadith collections.
• Ahaadith of individuals described as 'Saduqoon' are also included, though they are not classified as 'Al-Huffaath Al-Mutqineen'.
• Ahaadith from those accused of fabrication are mostly very weak and are excluded from collections.

Narrations of the Book

• A significant narration originates from Abu Ishaaq Ibrahim al-Faqih, dating back to 308 AH.
• Some sections he did not directly hear and instead received via Ijaazah and Wijaadah.
• His narrations have been widely transmitted and remain a trusted source today.

Manuscripts

• Key manuscripts include one by Ibn 'Asaakir from 571 AH.
• Another important manuscript is by Ibn Khair al-Ishbeeli, dated 575 AH.
