About this site
Takhrīj al-Ḥadīth is a reference library for the study of Prophetic narrations. Every entry brings together the Arabic text of the narration, its English translation, the source and chapter reference, the takhrīj — the tracing of its chain of transmission through the hadith collections — the gradings given by the scholars of hadith, and selected scholarly commentary, each commentary in its own expandable section.
The library is organised into four sections: Aḥādīth, Fatāwā, Sayings of the Companions, and Sayings of the Scholars. You can browse the collection by topic, search it in both Arabic and English, or look through the archives. The lectures page gathers Urdu audio lessons by a number of teachers, and our books are available from the separate bookstore.
