Commentaries in the science of hadith are critical as they reveal the meaning of the hadith and reflect the historical circumstances in which they were written. This book focuses on commentaries written on the works of two 14th-century Islamic scholars. The author studies the life and times of Qadi Bayzawi and Ibn Melek from the 14th century, as well as Begavi from the 11th century. He also provides a general comparison in terms of hadith commentary methods, the sources of the commentaries and their impact, and the influence of sectarian affiliations on hadith interpretations and Sufi readings.
