Description - Traditions of Islam by Paul Hardy
The Hadith (traditions) are the most important source of Islamic teaching and ideology after the Qur'an. These traditions, derived from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, form a body of sacred texts faithfully handed down in the Muslim community from its earliest days. They function as a basic source on the history of early Islam, whether illuminating the life of the Prophet, giving the first commentaries on the Qur'an or operating as a source of Islamic law. This book, based on research, both challeges existing interpretations concerning the Hadith as a historical source ad provides original interpretations of their literary and religious significance.
