Question
Could you kindly explain the muqaddimah (introduction) of Imam Muslim from his Sahih Muslim?
Answer
Dear Brother,
It generally takes a teacher about two weeks of lessons to explain this masterpiece in a Hadith class.
It is currently impossible for me to pen these explanations for you.
Further, this introduction is only suited for those who are adequately equipped, academically.
I would advise that you study knowledge of Din in a reputable institute, and will thereby have an opportunity to eventually study the muqaddimah of Sahih Muslim under a qualified authority insha Allah.
Note: My Honourable teacher, Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Patel saheb (hafizahullah) – a senior Hadith teacher at Madrasah Ta’limuddeen in Isipingo Beach, Durban, South Africa- is currently working on a brief explanation in English.
May Allah Ta’ala make it a reality very soon.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
