Study Notes

Definition of Al-Mustakhrajat

Al-Mustakhrajat are books that present Ahaadith from another source, re-narrated using the author's own chains of transmission (Asaneed).
These works are organized similarly to the original texts, following the chapters of religious content.

Historical Development

The methodology for compiling Mustakhrajat began in the 3rd century AH.
Ibn Zanjawayh (251 AH) initiated this practice with his work, Kitab ul-Amwaal, which is a Mustakhraj of Abi 'Ubaid's al-Amwaal.
Al-Isfaraayeni (286 AH) advanced this tradition by compiling a Mustakhraj of Sahih Muslim.

Notable Mustakhrajat

As-Saheehayn:
- Compiled by Abi 'Abdillah Muhammad ibn al-Akhram (344 AH).
- Compiled by Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Isma'ili (371 AH).
Sahih ul-Bukhari:
- Compiled by Abu Nu'aym al-Asbahaaani (430 AH).
Sahih Muslim:
- Compiled by Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Isfaraayeni (286 AH).
- Compiled by Abu 'Awanaa al-Isfaraayeni (316 AH).

Other Mustakhrajat

Mukhtasar al-Ahkaam by Abu 'Ali at-Toosi (312 AH) serves as a Mustakhraj of Jami' ut-Tirmidhi.
Kitab ul-Amwaal by Ibn Zanjawayh (251 AH) is another significant Mustakhraj.

Advantages of Al-Mustakhrajat

They offer slightly different phrasing, which can provide new insights.
Typically contain shorter and more authentic Ahaadith.
They facilitate a more precise ruling on the authenticity of Ahaadith overall.

Definition of Mustakhraj

Mustakhraj refers to works where authors narrate Ahaadith from another book using their own chains (Asaaneed) without directly citing the original author.
The organization of Ahaadith in Mustakhraj is structured like the original book, maintaining the chapter arrangement.

Historical Background

The methodology of Mustakhraj began in the third century AH, initiated by Ibn Zanjoyah with his work 'al-Amwaal'.
Ibn Zanjoyah's 'al-Amwaal' is a Mustakhraj of the book "al-Amwaal" by Abi 'Ubaid (who lived in 224 AH).
Following this, Abu Bakr al-Isfarayeeni compiled a Mustakhraj of Sahih Muslim in 286 AH, leading to increased scholarly interest in compiling Mustakhrajaat focused on hadith.

Notable Mustakhrajaat

Important collections of Mustakhrajaat include:
- As-Saheehayn (Bukhari & Muslim)
- Sahih ul-Bukhari by Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Isma'ili (371 AH)
- Sahih Muslim by Abu Nu'aym al-Asbahaani (430 AH)
- Mukhtasar al-Ahkaam by Abu 'Ali at-Toosi (312 AH), a Mustakhraj of Jami' ut-Tirmidhi.
- Kitab ul-Amwaal by Ibn Zanjoyah (251 AH), a Mustakhraj of al-Amwaal by Abi 'Ubaid.

Purpose of Mustakhraj

The main objective is to reinforce the hadith by providing alternative chains from different books, enhancing their reliability.

Differences and Similarities in Ahaadith

Variations may exist in the wording of specific phrases, such as "يوم الجمعة" across different sources.
Differences may also arise in how certain hadiths are presented in comparison to other texts, such as Bukhari versus Abu Nu'aym.

Order of Chains in Mustakhraj

Authors of Mustakhrajaat may present hadith in a different sequence than the original works.
This reordering serves to emphasize specific points or illustrate connections between various Ahaadith, enhancing the understanding of the material.
