Islam

The Hadith

Secondary but highly influential collections of reports documenting the sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad. Presents Book I ("On Faith") of A.N. Matthews's 1809-1810 translation of Mishkat al-Masabih, plus Stanley Lane-Poole's 1882 Table-Talk anthology -- a modest selection, not the full canonical collections (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, etc.), whose standard translations are commercially copyrighted.
