The musalsalat are a unique category of hadith that preserve not only the text of a narration but also a particular action, statement, or circumstance associated with its transmission.
During this session, Shaykh Akram Nadwi will read a selection of musalsalat from his newly published collection, Nazm al-La’ali fi al-Musalsal al-‘Ali (ASI Press), accompanied by brief commentary. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear these narrations directly from one of the world’s leading muhaddithun and participate in a living chain of transmission stretching back through centuries of Islamic scholarship.
This book is a hadith collection that brings together a carefully selected group of musalsal narrations. These were received by the author through direct audition and face-to-face transmission from his teachers and are preserved with their specific characteristics and modes of transmission in accordance with the technical conventions of the hadith scholars. Thus, the work combines the honour of connected chains, precision in transmission, and the preservation of the manner in which the knowledge was received. Where needed, he draws attention to the judgements of scholars on the veracity of the hadiths included, presenting all of this in a concise and clear style that makes the discipline more accessible for students and researchers.
Printed copies of the book[Nazm al-La’ali fi al-Musalsal al-‘Ali] will be available for purchase.
Dates and water will provided and
participants will also be granted an ijazah from Shaykh Akram for the hadith heard during the session [that is those in person in the College only and NOT online]
