WHOLESALE | The Names of Weak and Fabricating Narrators, with the Criticisms of the Great Hadith Imams (5 Vols) – Ibn Al-Jawzi

Asma' Al-Du'afa' wa Al-Wadda'in wa Dhikr Jarhihim min Al-A'immah Al-Kibar Al-Huffaz is one of the important classical works in the science of Jarh wa Ta'dil (narrator criticism) authored by the renowned hadith scholar, historian, and jurist Abu al-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله). In this substantial work, Ibn al-Jawzi compiles the biographies of weak, abandoned, and fabricating narrators, documenting the judgements of the leading hadith authorities regarding their reliability and trustworthiness.

Drawing from the statements of the great hadith critics such as Imam Ahmad, Yahya ibn Ma'in, Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Hatim, Al-Nasa'i, Al-Daraqutni, and many others, the author records the reasons scholars declared particular narrators weak or unreliable. The work serves as an invaluable reference for understanding the principles of hadith authentication and the rigorous methodology employed by the scholars of hadith in preserving the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Regarded as a significant contribution to the sciences of Jarh wa Ta'dil and 'Ilm al-Rijal, this carefully verified edition is an indispensable resource for advanced students of hadith, researchers, Islamic institutes, and anyone specialising in the authentication and criticism of prophetic narrations.

Presented here in a beautifully printed 5-volume Arabic edition, Asma' Al-Du'afa' wa Al-Wadda'in is an essential addition to every serious Islamic library.
