Book Review: Kitab al-Athar

This compilation of traditions from the first generations of Islam- the Companions, the Followers and the Followers of the Followers- and hadith of the Messenger of Allah , is understood by the ulama to have been the work of Imam Abu Hanifah. It was compiled by his student, Imam Muhammad. As is his pattern with the Muwatta, Imam Muhammad comments on each tradition and places it within the context of the fiqh rulings of his teacher, Imam Abu Hanifah. This will be an invaluable book for those interested in the early sources of Hanafi fiqh rulings, as it will also for those studying the history of the hadith and traditions.

This book will be a fantastic addition to you library and will inspire you. It has many fascinating hadith, including an alternative narration of the Jibril hadith from ‘Abdullah ibn Umar.
