The History of Hadith

After the Qur'an, hadith is the most important guide for Muslims in the principles of Islamic beliefs, teachings, ethics, individual and social rules. Hadith is news from the resources of divine revelation, which independently or as an explanation of the verses of the Qur'an is the criterion of belief and practice of Muslims. The history of hadith has been compiled with the aim of knowing the history of this science from its inception to the present time and its developments in the past. One of the pillars of this book is the compilation process of hadith among Sunni and Shia, which introduces the authors, hadith communities and books in detail separately and compares some of their chapters with each other and other important issues related to hadith.
