The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) serves as the second primary source of Islamic law, providing fundamental principles of faith and guidance for Muslim life. The preservation and transmission of Hadith began with the Companions (Sahabah) and their successors (Tabi'in), who memorized and conveyed the sayings and actions of the Prophet (SAW). This process was further systematized during the era of the Tabi' Tabi'in and early Islamic scholars, leading to the compilation of Hadith into structured collections.
Among these, Sahih al-Bukhari, compiled by Imam Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari in the 9th century CE, stands as one of the most authentic and esteemed Hadith collections. Recognized by scholars as “the most authentic book after the Book of Allah,” Sahih al-Bukhari has received unparalleled scholarly acceptance. Over the centuries, numerous commentaries have been written to elucidate its meanings, providing deeper insights into its narrations. One of the most distinguished commentaries on Sahih al-Bukhari is Umdat al-Qari by Allama Badruddin al-Aini. This comprehensive work meticulously analyzes and explains the Hadiths, addresses various jurisprudential and theological issues, and offers a unique scholarly approach to their interpretation. This study aims to explore the distinctive features of Umdat al-Qari and examine the methodology employed by Allama al-Aini in his commentary. Through a rigorous academic investigation, this research seeks to provide a detailed analysis of Umdat al-Qari, highlighting its significance in the broader context of Hadith scholarship and Islamic jurisprudence.
