al-Sadis min al-Khulaiyat (The Sixth Part of the Khula‘iyyat) is the sixth fascicle (juz’) of al-Fawa’id al-muntaqah al-hisan min al-sihah wa-l-ghara’ib, a classical collection of hadiths and traditions narrated by the Egyptian Shafi‘i jurist and hadith authority Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn al-Hasan al-Khala'i (405–492 AH / 1014–1099 CE) .
Compilation and Structure
The twenty-part corpus known collectively as al-Khula‘iyyat (or Fawa’id al-Khala‘i) was compiled and extracted (takhrij) by Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Shirazi from the auditory transmissions and sources of al-Khala‘i . The collection was arranged into twenty individual parts (ajza'), of which al-Sadis min al-Khulaiyat constitutes the sixth .
The material compiled in these parts consists of prophetic hadiths, narrations of the Companions and early authorities (athar), and literary verses of poetry (ash‘ar), categorized by the compiler into sound (sahih), rare (gharib), and elevated (‘ali) reports .
Transmission and Reception
The collection was preserved and transmitted primarily through al-Khala‘i’s student, the Shafi‘i jurist Abd Allah ibn Rifa'ah al-Sa'di (467–561 AH) . Later scholars who received and transmitted these parts directly or through authorizations include Muhammad ibn As'ad al-Jawwani and Muhammad ibn Imad al-Harrani .
The Khula‘iyyat parts were regarded by traditionists as containing abundant benefits and among the highest chains of transmission available from Egyptian narrators of that era . Hadith scholars traveled to study and recite them, either as complete sets or as specific individual parts, including the first six parts, across major centers in Egypt and Damascus .
