Mashyakhat Abi Hafs al-Maraghi is a hadith mashyakha compiled for the Syrian traditionist and muezzin Abu Hafs 'Umar ibn al-Hasan ibn Umayla al-Maraghi (d. 778 AH / 1376 CE) .
Compilation and Transmission
The collection was extracted and arranged (takhrij) for Abu Hafs al-Maraghi—whose full name is Siraj al-Din Abu Hafs 'Umar ibn al-Hasan ibn Mazyad ibn Umayla al-Maraghi al-Halabi al-Mizzi al-Dimashqi—by the Shafi'i scholar Sadr al-Din Sulayman ibn Yusuf al-Yasufi al-Maqdisi al-Dimashqi .
Al-Maraghi transmitted the work by direct audition (sama') at al-Mizza al-Fawqaniyya on the outskirts of Damascus in Jumada al-Ula and Jumada al-Akhirah of the year 775 AH . It was subsequently transmitted by his students, including the Shafi'i chief judge Jamal al-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Zuhayra al-Makhzumi al-Makki, who recited it at al-Madrasa al-Afdaliyya in Mecca in Jumada al-Akhirah 814 AH .

The narrations documented in the work encompass various legal and devotional topics, such as the prophetic report on sacrificial slaughter for newborns ('aqiqah) traced through Ibn 'Abbas .
