Juz' fihi ahadith min masmu'at lil-Shaykh al-Hafiz Abi Dharr 'Ubayd ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Harawi is a hadith compilation (juz') by the hadith master Abu Dharr al-Harawi (d. 434 AH / 1043 CE), collecting forty Prophetic traditions received through his personal auditions from his teachers .
Transmission and Riwayah
The primary transmission of the text descends from Abu Dharr al-Harawi through his son, Abu Maktum 'Isa ibn Abi Dharr, who transmitted it at al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca in Dhu al-Qa'dah 497 AH . The line of narration continued through Abu al-'Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-'Abbasi al-Makki, Abu al-Fadl 'Abd al-Salam ibn 'Abd Allah al-Dahiri, Abu al-Khattab Mahfuz ibn 'Umar ibn Abi Bakr ibn al-Hamid in 691 AH, and Abu al-Haram Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Qalanisi .
In later generations, the text was transmitted by the female hadith scholar (musnidah) Umm al-Fadl Hajar bint Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Qudsi, who heard it via an audition read to her on 12 Sha'ban 868 AH on the authority of her father Sharaf al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Qudsi from Abu al-Haram al-Qalanisi (who heard it on 6 Dhu al-Qa'dah 763 AH) . Another recorded chain reaches al-Qalanisi by authorization (ijazah) via Umm al-Fadl 'A'ishah bint 'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Kinani al-'Asqalani .
