Description
About the Book:
Imam Tahawi's Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar is a timeless and universal masterpiece from amongst the greatest compilations of Islamic literature. Consisting of a wide array of vast and unique Prophetic traditions, it is a detailed and indispensable resource in jurisprudential matters.
As a key text within the Ḥanafi School of Law, it dispels the oft-assumed notion of the School being solely one of reason by substantiating many legal verdicts of the great luminary Imam Abu Ḥanifah (Rh.) with not only the proposition of rationale but also with highly authentic supporting evidence.
The key distinguishing factor of this work from others is its unmatchable style of composition and argumentation in deducing legal rulings and deeply analyzing therein; all the while assisting its readers by explaining in a coherent, cogent, and comprehensive manner.
As an outstanding treatise of Imam Ṭaḥawi (Rh.), it embodies a lifetime of discerning sacred knowledge and formulating independent decisions based on such; providing a glimpse into the depths and magnitudes of his knowledge.

About the author
al-Tahawi: Imam Abu Ja'far Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tahawi rahimahullah (c. 239-321 AH / c. 853-933 CE) was born in the village of Taha in upper Egypt into an affluent family. He commenced his Islamic education under his maternal uncle, Isma'il ibn Yahya al-Muzani, one of the foremost disciples of Imam al-Shafi'i. Around the age of twenty, he transferred from the Shafi'i school to the Hanafi school, a move his biographers ascribe to the greater appeal Abu Hanifa's legal reasoning held for his critical insight. He studied under Ahmed ibn Abi Ibrahim, head of the Hanafis in Egypt, who had himself studied under Abu Yusuf and Muhammad al-Shaybani - the two primary students of Abu Hanifa. In 268 AH/882 CE he traveled to Syria for further studies in Hanafi law and became a student of the chief judge of Damascus. He went on to gain an extraordinary mastery of hadith. He is best known for al-'Aqida al-Tahawiyya, a concise creedal statement of Sunni doctrine that has been taught and commentated upon across the centuries, and for his encyclopedic Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar, an authoritative work in hadith and Hanafi jurisprudence.
