Study Notes
The Author: Abu 'Isa Muhamad ibn Isa at-Tirmidhi
- Born in 279 AH (892 AD), known for his contributions to Hadith literature.
- Authored a renowned collection of Hadith, titled "Al-Jaami'" or "Jaami' ut-Tirmidhi".
Name of the Book
- "Al-Jaami'" is the most recognized title, reflecting the book’s comprehensive content.
- "Sunan at-Tirmidhi" is an inaccurate title as it suggests a focus solely on jurisprudential Hadith.
Subject Matter
- Aimed to integrate Hadith, its sciences, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and the assessment of narrators.
- Collected both jurisprudential and non-jurisprudential Hadith.
- Included viewpoints from Fuqahaa (Islamic jurists) from the Sahaba (Companions of the Prophet) and later scholars related to discussed issues.
- Graded Hadith and identified potential errors within them.
Conditions for Including Ahaadith
- Focused on Hadith utilized by Fuqahaa as evidence without strictly limiting to authentic Hadith.
- Provided transparency on the weakness of included Hadith when applicable.
Conditions for the Narrators
- Included narrations from reliable narrators ('Ath-Thiqa ad-Dhaabit') who had strong memories, even if they sometimes erred.
- Rarely included narrators whose incorrect ratings outweighed their correct ones and explained their inclusion when it occurred.
Methodology and Arrangement of Hadith
- Organized Hadith into chapters and sub-chapters covering various aspects of religion, such as Tahaara (purification).
- Created detailed sub-chapters based on rulings found in Hadith, often aligning the sub-chapter title with the Hadith text.
Method of Mentioning the Ahaadith
- Formulated a sub-chapter for each Fiqh issue, listing relevant Hadith and their chains of transmission (asaaneed).
- Employed methods to either combine chains or switch between them while mentioning each isnad (chain of narrators) alongside its matn (text of the Hadith).
