Hadith benefits in Al Tabarani’s comments on the Hadiths he has narrated in his book Al Mu'jam Al Saghir

Abstract

This study aims to clarify Hadith benefits in the comments of Al Tabarani (may Allah be pleased with him) on the Hadiths he narrated in his book Al Mu'jam Al Saghir. These comments reflect his profound knowledge of these Hadiths and their narrators. They also indicate his skills and professionalism in hadith narration.

In his book, Al Tabarani aimed to reference unique Hadiths narrated by one thousand of his disciples. As a result, many of his opinions and comments on these Hadiths were due to the distinctiveness of the narrators. He also mentioned the types and aspects of this distinctiveness.  

This study includes other benefits such as the identification of narrators, their narrations, as well as the criticism addressed to them.

Finally, in this study the researcher aims to clarify the benefits implied in these Hadiths.
