Since its inception, the study of Ḥadīth conducted by scholars trained in the Western academic tradition has been marked by sharp methodological debates. A focal issue is the origin and development of traditions on the advent of Islam. Scholars' verdicts on these traditions have ranged from “late fabrications without any historical value for the time concerning which the narrations purport to give information” to “early, accurately transmitted texts that allow one to reconstruct Islamic origins”. Starting from previous contributions to the debate, the studies collected in this volume show that, by careful analysis of their texts and chains of transmission, the history of Muslim traditions can be reconstructed with a high degree of probability and their historicity assessed afresh.

World Prize for the Book of the Year of the Islamic Republic of Iran, February 2012."The thesis of the volume [...] is that a careful analysis if isnād (chain of transmittars) and matn (text) will afford a fairer reconstruction of the history of ḥadīth and indeed its probative value as a historical source [...] Overall, this is a significant work which has succesfully challenged and thrown into relief many of the erroneous and inaccurate postulations that have held sway [...] in ḥadīth, exegetical and jurisprudential studies." Amidu Olekan Sami in JOAS 22 (2013), 366-368.
