Hadith
Hadith
Hadith of the nine books, read by Dr. Yusuf bin Nuh Ahmad: the vowelled text with its chain, rare words (gharib), grade and reference, and an English translation, with brief explanations and benefits to follow, God willing. We begin with the Book of Revelation in Sahih al-Bukhari.
About the project
An ongoing da'wah and scholarly project aiming to give every hadith of the nine books a page that can be
heard, read, understood and shared: the hadith read aloud with its chain, its vowelled text, its rare words
explained, its grade and source, and a brief explanation with benefits.
On each hadith page
- The audio read by Dr. Yusuf bin Nuh Ahmad, split hadith by hadith and checked by ear.
- The vowelled text, with the chain shown apart from the text.
- Rare words marked in the text; tap one to see its meaning and source.
- Grade, reference, and an English translation.
- A brief explanation and benefits, reviewed and extended over time.
Sources
- Reading: Dr. Yusuf bin Nuh Ahmad, who kindly permitted its use in this project.
- Texts: the standard editions of the nine books and their usual numbering.
- Rare words: Ibn al-Athir's al-Nihaya, Lisan al-Arab and other lexicons.
