It looks at how hadiths were transmitted and organised by Muslim scholars to give us the collections we use today, and how hadiths were used to define the life of pietyas well as to tell us the revealed law. Some chapters seek to overturn, refine or reaffirm dominant paradigms within the field. Others look to expand our horizons in new directions. Comprising studies from the Middle East, Europe and North America, this book makes a major contribution to a controversial and challenging field.
