Study Notes
Al-Mu'jam al Awsat by At-Tabaraani
- Focuses on individual Ahaadith narrated by his teachers (Shuyookh), highlighting uncorroborated wording.
- Compiled to feature Ahaadith without corroborating evidence, emphasizing authenticity.
- Includes a variety of Ahaadith classifications: Sahih (authentic), Hasan (good), Da'eef (weak), and Mawdoo' (fabricated).
Conditions for Inclusion and Authenticity
- Only includes Ahaadith narrated by individual sheikhs, ensuring a unique account for each.
- Aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the authenticity of each narration.
Methodology and Organization
- Organized Shuyookh alphabetically based on the first letter of their names, facilitating ease of reference.
- Focuses on citing Ahaadith that are considered Ghareeba (strange) without a set limit on the number included.
Ahaadith Mentioning Practices
- Avoids frequent repetition of Ahaadith, presenting them only when deemed beneficial for clarification.
- When multiple Ahaadith share the same Isnaad, the complete chain is provided initially, followed by concise references ("Wa bihi") in subsequent mentions.
- Utilizes summarization of lengthy Ahaadith to maintain clarity and engagement.
Methodology of the Scholars of Hadith
- Scholars highlight discrepancies in narrators’ corroboration within hadith chains (Asaaneed) and texts (Mutoon).
- Contradictions among narrators are specifically pointed out if they arise in hadith with connected chains.
- Scholars may classify certain hadith as weak when they conflict with well-established narrations.
Number of Ahaadith
- Total of 9,489 hadith texts documented, including some classified as Mawqoof (stopped) and Maqtoo' (cut off).
Status
- The compilation features many Ghareeb Ahaadith, which may not appear in other collections.
- Scholars provide judgments on hadith authenticity, clarifying which parts have corroboration issues.
Service of the Scholars to Hadith Compilation
- Ibn Ruzayq al-Maqdisi organized the hadith collection into chapters around the year 803 AH.
- Al-Haythami’s work, Majma' ul-Bahrayn fi Zawaaid il-Mu'jamayn, further discusses additional commentary on these texts (circa 807 AH).
Additional Notes
- Significant efforts are made in identifying Zawazed (additional narrations or insights).
- Some hadith can only be found in a limited number of texts due to the preference of scholars for authentic narratives.
- The presence of unusual hadith highlights the diversity and complexity of hadith literature.
Subject Matter
- Comprises singular Ahaadith narrated by recognized scholars (Shuyookh)

Methodology of Mentioning Ahaadith
- Features Ghareeb (rare) Ahaadith from each scholar without limit to quantity
- Less frequent repetition of Ahaadith to ensure benefit
- If the Isnaad (chain of transmission) is identical for different Ahaadith, it is introduced once followed by "Wa bihi" (and with it)
- Long Ahaadith are summarized for brevity and clarity
Methodology Related to Hadith Science
- Identifies cases where narrators are uncorroborated within the Asaneed (chains of narration)
- Highlights narrators whose hadith contradict well-established narrations, indicating inconsistencies
