SUNNI ḤADĪTH
- TRADITION LITERATURES AND COMPENDIA.
IN PROGRESS 2009-10
Stephen Lambden (UC-Merced).
"Second- and third-century
papyrus manuscripts of Tradition attest to early and progressive
transition from oral to written transmission. They represent Quranic
commentary, law, biography, and military and political history. They
yield evidence of the existence and circulation of sizeable manuscripts
of Tradition in the second half of the first century. They provide, for
the most part, stronger chains of authorities for the Hadīfh and sunnah
of the Prophet than for those of the Companions. Finally, the contents
of the Traditions about the Companions have few or no parallels in the
pertinent sources. In marked contrast, the Hadīth and sunnah of the
Prophet find a high rate of survival in the extant corpus of Tradition"

"This
collection of hadiths is the earliest extant musannaf. The author came
from Yemen and studied under Ma'mar and Ibn Jurayj. The traditions in
the Musannaf come mainly from three people: Ma'mar, Ibn Jurayj, and
Thawri. There are also relatively small numbers of traditions from Ibn 'Uyayna,
Abu Hanifa, Malik ibn. Anas, and dozens of other people. The
aforementioned authorities, Ibn Jurayj (d. 150/767) and Ma'mar b. Rashid
(d. 153/770), were both said to have been compilers of musannafs." BS

b. 'Abd al-Rāhmān ibn Faḍl al-Bahrām al-Dārimī (d.255/869).
"This author had a work entitled
Kitāb al-Sunan, or al-Musnad al-jāmī, which was muṣannaf, not musnad,
though its author so named it. It consists of 1,363 ḥadīth distributed
over 23 kitābs, each divided into bābs, arranged in the legal order. The
author examines the credibility of narrators and discusses legal points
in an original, independent manner, but the book lacks consistency and
many of its isnāds are of the interrupted categories. Some, however,
grade it higher than Ibn Mājah's book and include it among the Six Works
instead of the latter's work." (CHAL1:ADD)

"In al-Ilzāmāt 'alā'l-Bukhārī
wa-Muslim the author compiles hadīth which fulfil the prerequisites
of al-Bukhārī and Muslim and therefore could have been included in their
Saḥīḥs. This type is known as istidrāk (plural,
istidrākāt), i.e. readjustment by additions. Al-Daraquṭnī chose the term
Ilzāmāt, i.e. "those which must be accepted", for emphasis.
Unlike our author's larger compilation, al-Sunan, in which he treats
only legal points, al-Ilzāmāt, ranks high among
ṣaḥīḥ compilations." (CHAL 1: ADD).

Ibn
Hanbal, Aḥmad b. Hanbal (XXX-241 =
780-855) d. Baghdad 241/855. Muslim Traditionalist, theologian and jurist.
"The Musnad of Ahmad b. Hanbal, (d. 241/85 5), founder of the fourth [p.274]
law school, is the best known of this category. It was transmitted through
Ibn Hanbal's own son, 'Abdullah (d. 290/903), and then through 'Abdullah's
disciple, Abū Bakr al-Qaţl'î, (d. 368-979), both of whom made a few
additions. It relates on the authority of 700 male and almost 100 female
Companions whose names are arranged according to their seniority, beginning
with the first four caliphs (the "Rãsbidũn"}. It contains 30,000 hadtīhs,
excluding 10,000 repetitions, filling six large volumes in small type in its
Cairo edition (1312-13). Although the claim that the Musnad contains a few
discredited hadīth was rejected by later scholars, it is admitted that some
are "weak" (da'if}. However, to some jurists, like Ibn Hanbal himself, this
type of hadīth was useful in making legal decisions" (CHAL 1:273-4).
The Musnad of
Ibn Hanbal which contains over 27,000 hadith was first printed in Egypt in
six volumes in the early 1890s under the direction of Ahmad al-Babi al-Halabi.
A Commentary on the Musnad was
written by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hadi (d. Medina, 1138/1726) according to `Abd
al-Qadir Ibn Badran, al-Madhal ila maühab al-imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Cairo n.
d.), 246 = ed. Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Muhsin al-Turki (Beirut 1401/1981), 473.

"Ahmad ibn
Hanbal (d. Baghdad, 241/855) was the central, defining figure of Sunnism
in the earlier ninth century C.E. He was a major collector and critic of
hadith, as well as stories of early renunciants, and his collected
opinions would form the literary basis of the Hanbali school of law. Men
would assert as a badge of orthodoxy that their creed was Ahmad’s (e.g.
Muzani, Tabiri, Ash’ari). He famously resisted the Inquisition of Ma’mun
and his successors, refusing to acknowledge that the Qur’an was created.
-
Ahmad’s ideas about the Qur’an are found in collections of his answers
to questions (masa’il), in biographies (both of him personally and of
his followers), and in his Musnad. They show a devotion above all to the
liturgical use of the Qur’an; for example, how it should be recited
aloud, how it should be integrated with the ritual prayer. He did not
tend to infer the law directly from the Qur’an, but from hadith, and put
together his own version of the text (qira’a), although it is not
preserved. (The report that he assembled a huge Qur’anic commentary is
doubtful). Therefore, it was not mainly as a record of Islamic law that
Ahmad defended the transcendence of the Qur’an but more directly as the
basis of Islamic piety."

Mālik ibn Anas =
Abū `Abd-Allah Malik ibn Anas / ibn Malik ibn 'Amr al-Asbahi (c. 94-179 = c. 716-796).
Author of
the first major law book al-Muwaṭṭā', the Mālikī school of law trace
their roots to him.
During the first/seventh century and early part of the second/eighth century
compilation was limited to writing down those baáĩth in oral circulation.
Later scholars started grouping hadītb under titles indicating their subject
matter. This type was called musanna/, i.e. classified or systemized
compilation. Although Ibn Jurayj, (d. 150/767), and Ma'mar b. Rashid, (d. 153/770), were
the first compilers of musannaf, yet the best-known work of this type is al-Muwaṭṭā'
of Mālik b. Anas, founder of the second major law school, which also
contains opinions and legal decisions. The Muwaṭṭā ՝ was revised several times over forty years by its author, who
flourished in Medina, having studied earlier with renowned scholars there,
and in turn taught those revised works to his disciples. Mālik's revised
work survived in some different versions through his disciples, notably
Yahya b. Yahya al-Laythĩ of Cordoba (d. 732/848), and of Muhammad b. al-Hasan
al-Shaybãnĩ (d. 189/804), the well known Hanafī authority. Yahya's version
is the more popular. The Muwaṭṭā's sixty-one chapters, here called " books " (sing, kitāb), are
arranged according to the categories of the religious law, each dealing with
one topic such as purity, prayers, ŗakāh (alms-tax), fasting and so on.
Chapters are divided into sub-chapters (sing. bãb). A bah may begin with a
relevant hadīth followed by comments, or with a question addressed to
Mālik followed by his answer, either alone or supported by a hadīth or a
Quranic verse, or by an opinion of a Companion or a Follower, or by the
custom prevailing among the people of Medina. Among the 1,720 hadītb existing in Yahya's version, which include 613
statements attributed to Companions and another 285 attributed to Followers,
there are 61 without an isnād, some with interrupted isnāds and 222 in which
the narrating Companion is not mentioned. Some scholars later discovered
complete isnãds for those hadīth. Alarmed by the increasing circulation of spurious hadīth, Mālik and many
other theologians of this period denounced, like those before them, the
promoters of such falsehood, thus enlarging the foundations of the science
of Hadtth criticism and adding to its terminology. Mālik himself is credited
with the following statement, which approaches a classification of
muhaddiths (transmitters of Hadīth} : Knowledge should not be accepted from four categories [of transmitters], but
may be received from others. It should not be accepted from persons
advocating heretical views, or from idiots, no matter what they may claim to
know, or from those who lie to people, even if they may not be expected to
lie about the Prophet, or from persons of integrity and righteousness who
are not sufficiently accurate." (CHAL 1:272-3).

HADITH.
2003. 2003. (c.380 p., includes 6 studies translated from German, 1 translated
from French and 1 translated from Arabic ) (The Formation of the Classical
Islamic World 28). Hadith is understood here in its broader meaning as the
bulk of the texts which contain information on the prophet Muhammad and his
Companions, having the form of transmissions from them. The reliability of
this material as a source for early Islam is still a highly debated issue.
This selection of articles presents the different points of view in this
debate and the varying methodological approaches with which scholars trained
in modern secular sciences have tried to find a solution to the problem.

was sought out by Basran scholars
for his written collection of some thousand Traditions of Muhammad.
'Abdullah b. 'Umar (d. 74/673) dictated Hadtth to two of his sons and two of
his clients, Salim and especially Nafi* b. Hurmuz (d. 117/735), all four of
whom were major traditionists.
The Medinan Jābir b. 'Abdullah al-AnsārĪ
(d. 78/697) had a written collection of Tradition that was used by Mujāhid
b. Jabr of Mecca.
Abū Salāmah 'Abdullah b. 'Abd al-Rahmān
(d. 94/712), one of the "seven scholars" of Medina, dictated some of his
written collections even to schoolboys.
'Urwah b. al-Zubayr (d. 94/712),
active first in his native Hijaz, travelled to Egypt and Syria to the court
of'Abd al-Mālik. His interests included Traditions, campaigns, the life of
Muhammad, law and reports (Hadīth, maghāŗī, strah ^ fiqh and akhbār}. He
dictated from his manuscripts and handed his campaign collection to his son
Hishām for collation. He burned his law manuscripts in 63/683, an act he
later regretted. Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, where many Companions and Successors had settled,
produced their own ranking scholars.
The Yemenite Ibn Maymun al-Awdĩ
(d. 74/693) settled in Kufa and transmitted his collections of Hadīth from 'Umar,
'Alî and 'Abdullah b. Mas'Ūd. He wrote on historical subjects on which Ibn
Ishāq drew later.
The Kufan critic of Tradition,
Ibrahim b. Yazïd al-Nakha'î (d. 95/714), preferred transmission from memory.
He nevertheless permitted the use of manuscripts and commended them to those
of weak memories "on whose clothes and lips were ink stains".6
The Kufan Sa'Id b. Jubayr (d.
95/714), Hadīth scholar and Quranic commentator, wrote and dictated his
Tafsĩr to his fellow citizen and scholar Dahhāk b. Muzāhim (d. 105/723). His
Hadīth collection was later drawn on by Ibn Ishaq.
The encyclopaedic Kufan scholar
and courtier Abū 'Amr 'Āmir al-Sha'bî (d. c. 110/728), though proud of his
memory, conceded that "the best traditionist was the doftar" (or manuscript)
and "the book was the register of knowledge".7
Basra's leading scholars of the
period included Anas b. Mālik, Hasan al-Başrî and Abū Qilabah (d. 105/724).
Syria was proud of Khālid b.
Ma'dān (d. 104/722) and Makhūl al-Shāmī (d. c. 112/730). Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrï's
early listing of ranking scholars consists of Sa'ïd b. al-Musayyib of
Medina, Abū 'Amr 'Amir al-Sha'bī of Kufa, Hasan al-Basrĩ and Makhūl al-Shāmī
of Syria.
Many of the above-mentioned
scholars and Hadīth scholars found favour with Umayyad caliphs and their
governors. 'Uthmān b. 'Affan (24—31/644—56) used Hadīth sparingly, but is
listed as a Hadīth scholar. Mu'äwiyah (40-60/660-80) wrote some Traditions
from Muhammad and
