List of Works

  • Balaghat Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri wa Idrajatuhu fi al-Kutub al-Sitta

    This contemporary hadith study examines reports transmitted without full chains (balaghat) and textual insertions (idrajat) attributed to Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri across the Six Books of hadith. Completed in 1438 AH / 2017 CE, the work compiles and analyzes these narrations to distinguish prophetic speech from al-Zuhri's own words, trace connected chains of transmission where available, and clarify both the causes behind his omitted links and his motives for textual additions.

  • Riwayat al-Baghawi fi Tafsirihi Maalim al-Tanzil an Shaykhihi Abd al-Wahid al-Mulayhi "Takhrij wa Dirasah

    This academic study in hadith and Quranic exegesis investigates, extracts, and analyzes all prophetic traditions and reports transmitted by Abu Muhammad al-Husayn ibn Mas'ud al-Baghawi through his teacher Abu Amr Abd al-Wahid ibn Ahmad al-Mulayhi in the commentary Ma'alim al-Tanzil. The work examines the methodology and sources of this transmission route, providing authentication and analysis for 546 elevated narrations and related traditions found throughout the text.
