Sunan Abi Dawud (Dar al-Tasil Edition)

About this book

This Dar al-Tasil edition of Sunan Abi Dawud by Imam Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al-Ashath al-Sijistani is a modern scholarly publication prepared and studied by the publisher’s Center for Research and Information Technology. The editors establish and verify the text using the manuscripts available to the publisher, record variants, verify narrators’ names and wording, and preserve Abu Dawud’s comments and hadith judgments, an important part of his method for criticizing reports. The edition also provides extensive indexes, including Qur’anic verses and readings, hadith incipits distinguishing Prophetic reports from Companion reports, narrators and where they appear, and books and chapters. These tools support source-tracing and hadith research.
