امام خطابیؒ کی غریب الحدیث (تعارف، منہج واسلوب اور امتیازی خصوصیات) Ghareeb ul Hadith of Imam Khattabi (Introduction, Methodology and Characteristics)

Abstract

Imām Khattābī is considered as a glorious scholar of the fourth century. He has written several books in various scholarly traditions. One of them an important book is "Gharīb-ul-Ḥadīth".In this, he has not only interpreted the difficult words but also referred to as Ayāt, Aḥādīth and verses etc. Then, he also described the jurisprudential commandments existed in these Ayāt and Aḥādīth. Furthermore, in many places, Ḥadīth terms, legal maxims and wisdom of law are also part of this book. This book also holds a significant correlation with knowledge of Imām Khattābī's teachers because he mentioned the Aḥādīth and sayings of scholars with his own chain. Due to these qualities of this book, not only did the scholars of language use it, but also magnificent Moḥaddithīn, jurists, explainers and researchers have also quoted it in their own books. Of course, it will not be unwise to say that like previous scholars and Muḥaddithīn this book is also important and need for today's scholars.
