Nuzhat Al-Nadhar (نزهة النظر)

Nuzhat Al-Nadhar is a renowned commentary by Imam Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani on his own work, Nukhbat Al-Fikar, which deals with the principles and classifications of Hadith. It covers topics such as the authentication of narrations, types of Hadith (Sahih, Hasan, Da’if, etc.), the reliability of transmitters, and the methodology of Hadith scholars in accepting or rejecting reports. This book is a fundamental text in Ulum Al-Hadith (the science of Hadith) and is widely studied in Islamic seminaries. Shaykh Hassan Al-Kettani’s commentary provides further depth and clarity for students and researchers of Hadith sciences.
