Tas-hifat al-Muhaddithin by Abu Ahmad al-'Askari (382H) - 1400 pages

A book that examines names and problematic expressions that are similar in calligraphy, in which a misspelling or mistake takes place in setting the word or its image, such as substituting a letter for another letter.

Originally, it was a book that the author shortened from a major book that he did in misspelling or metaplasm (At-Tas’heef). Then he was asked in the city of Ar-Rayy and Isfahan to single out what the hadith narrators and transmitters need, so he removed everything that has nothing to do with the hadith and limited it to what the hadith narrators and transmitters need to explain that which is misspelt from the words of the Messenger, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, as well as the names of the Companions, the Followers, and those who follow them among the narrators whose names can be misspelt, such as: Habbab, Hattat, Hayyan, Habban, and so on.

A rare work of great value to the researcher and student. The edition we have chosen is the most reliable insha Allah, with the Tahqiq of Dr. Mahmud Ahmad Mayrah. He has scrupulously verified the text from 4 manuscripts and has made many necessary annotations for the reader.
