Recent publication by Elias G. Saba

Dear Colleagues in Hadith Studies,

I would like to share with you the long awaited publication by Elias G. Saba, Harmonizing Similarities, A History of Distinctions Literature in Islamic Law. You will find the summary and the table of content on Elias’s academia page. Since Hadith and Islamic law are two  inseparable fields, which almost cannot be studied one without the other, this publication is particularly relevant for our network and promises important insights in both fields.

 

Recent review by Pavel Pavlovitch

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues in Hadith Studies,

We would like to call your attention to the recent review published by Pavel Pavlovitch on Harald Motzki’s Reconstruction of a Source of Ibn Isḥāq’s Life of the Prophet and Early Qurʼān Exegesis: A Study of Early Ibn ʽAbbās Traditions. You will find the review on the website of the Journal of Semitic Studies. As pointed by our colleague, Raashid Goyal, in our blog, the “review covers some important methodological issues relating to isnād and text analysis of ḥadīth reports and offers a compelling critique of an unfalsifiable aspect of Motzki’s approach, namely the criterion of diversity, which Motzki has applied differently than in previous studies. There is also a helpful diagram that illustrates Motzki’s findings.” The need to “develop precise checks and balances” advocate by Pavel Pavlovitch is very much actual and deserves further reflection in which our network actively partakes and will hopefully further enhance.

Papers and panels may be proposed by senior and early scholars from Professor to PhD level.

Islamic Studies is broadly understood to include all topics and disciplinary approaches to the study of Islam and Muslim societies (majority and minority), across all time periods from the formative to the classical, and pre-modern to the contemporary.

New program for hadith search

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues;

Two weeks ago I discovered Golden Shamela. Maybe everyone is aware of it but it has more than 20 thousand searchable books and various edition of different hadith collections. I use it with Jawami’u’l-kalim ( http://gk.islamweb.net/ ), I wanted to recommend them for those who work with hadith texts.

For further information on Golden Shamela, you can look: https://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showthread.php?t=381192
