About this book

An Introduction to the Science of Hadith by Suhaib Hasan is a concise primer on mustalah al-hadith — the methods scholars use to evaluate hadith.

It explains the parts of a hadith (the chain and the text), the conditions for a hadith to be authentic, the categories sahih, hasan and da'if, defects in chains and texts, the criticism of narrators, and fabricated hadith. Key Arabic terms are explained clearly.

The book is short and well organised, making it ideal for a first look at the subject.
