The conduct of Judge Ayadh (544 AH) in explaining the difference in the narratives of Sahih Muslim Through his book: «Mashareq Al-Anwar»

Abstract

 Mashareq Al-Anwar, by Al-Qadi Ayyad (544 AH), is one of the most important commentaries on Sahih Muslim. It scrutinizes this most authentic books of hadith. My research is about his academic approach and the way he reported the different narratives of this book. Any minor variations in the hadith are mentioned in the chapter “Illusion and Difference” listed according to the root of the word without its affixes . Then he selects the most correct of them by comparing them to hadiths which are terminologically similar or carry the same meaning. This may be by examining context, by looking at the meanings of different narratives, by checking the linguistics in the classical arabic language or otherwise.
