APPENDIX A

ḤADĪTH CITATIONS

The following appendix provides supplementary information on the aḥādīth cited, paraphrased, or referred to in the commentary. In many, though not all, cases these ḥadīth reports are to be found in the works of the traditional commentators (e.g., al-Ṭabarī or Ibn Kathīr), upon which the present commentary is largely based. Also included in this appendix are some reports comprising sayings of prominent Companions of the Prophet and other early figures that are narrated in ḥadīth collections.

The collection and classification of aḥādīth according to the reliability of their chain of transmission (isnād) in reporting the words and actions of the Prophet is a major discipline in Islamic studies. The ḥadīth collectors devised numerous categories, including those aḥādīth that were so widely corroborated (mutawātir) as to be without doubt the words or actions of the Prophet, those that were almost certainly falsely attributed to him, and the large range of possibilities in between. It is beyond the scope of this appendix to provide a comprehensive treatment in this respect, although those cases in which scholars have considered a purported saying of the Prophet to be very unreliable or to have been misattributed have been noted.

Moreover, the forensic enterprise of ranking aḥādīth was itself separate from the question of how such texts would then be used as authoritative sources in law, theology, spirituality, history, and commentary. It should be noted that most traditional authors did not limit themselves to the strongest and most reliable aḥādīth in their works, but made use of a wide range of aḥādīth, using different conventions in different areas of study. This is especially true in tafsīr (Quranic commentary), where the aim was to provide a basis for meditating on the multiple levels of meaning embedded in specific verses. In general, even the greatest scholars of Quranic commentary evinced a comparative leniency with regard to the relative soundness of the aḥādīth they cited, though there is considerable variation in the methods and standards employed from one work and author to another, depending on many factors.

As people of great erudition, the authors of major Quranic commentaries had at their disposal dozens of ḥadīth compilations that collectively comprised hundreds of thousands of entries, far beyond the famous collections, such as al-Bukhārī’s, that are household names in the Islamic world. Often these commentators (and learned traditional authors in general) quote a less well known variant or version of a ḥadīth, use only a portion of a ḥadīth, or combine more than one ḥadīth into a single comment. We have not parsed out all aspects of how these texts have been quoted, a task that would have required a separate volume. Rather, our goal is to provide the origins of these aḥādīth (a process in Islamic intellectual culture called takhrīj, or “extraction”) for students and scholars who are interested in the original sources of these crucial texts.

We have also not attempted to document all sources for a particular ḥadīth and have limited ourselves to citing a sampling of sources, giving priority to the most authoritative. In most cases where a specific report is found in the collections of al-Bukhārī and Muslim, we deemed it unnecessary to cite additional sources. For aḥādīth found in only one of the above named collections or in neither of them, at least three sources are cited, although there are some instances of exceptionally obscure aḥādīth. In a few cases, the report in question is cited only in the tafsīr literature and the earliest such citation(s) is indicated.

The number of the commentary in which the ḥadīth or saying appears is in red, followed by an identifying excerpt or short description and the work(s) in which the text (or part of it) can be found. A bibliography of the sources appears at the end of this appendix. Editorial notes about the citations appear in parentheses. Aḥādīth very similar to or very closely related to the ḥadīth in question appear within brackets.

The # symbol designates the serial number of the ḥadīth in the edition of the work listed in the accompanying bibliography; in cases where there is no serial numbering, the page number or the volume and page number are provided.
