Assalaamou Alaikoum There has been quite a lot of discussion about hadith methodology and interpretation recently. Here are my two favorite books on the subject: 1. Studies in Early Hadith Literature by M. M. Azmi. 2. Studies in Hadith Methodology and Literature by M. M. Azmi A more recent publication that I have not read is: Criticism of Hadith among Muslims with Reference to Sunan Ibn Maja by Suhaib Hasan Abdul Ghaffar. If you want to know where to obtain these from, e-mail to me. Wassalaam. Abu Syed Marwan ............................................................................ :...
