Sama al-maqal fi ilm al-rijal (book)

The Objective of Sama al-Maqal

At its core, Sama al-Maqal aims to establish a reliable narrative chain, thereby fostering an environment where authentic religious knowledge can flourish. This compilation intends to elucidate the character and credibility of narrators, categorizing them as trustworthy, weak, or unreliable. By doing so, it assists jurists and theologians in discerning which hadiths hold doctrinal authority and merit inclusion in broader theological discussions.
