دراسة مخطوط: قول المستحسن في فخر الحسن

Abstract

The manuscript under review "Al-Qawl Al-Mustehsan fi Fakhar-ul-Hasan" is basically an extended and comprehensive version of "Risala Fakhar-ul-Hasan". The mentioned treatise "Risala Fakhar-ul-Hasan" is written by Maulana Muhaddith Shah Fakhruddin Dehlvi (R.A). It is a detailed research with reference to the knowledge of hadith and the names of narrators (Asma-ur-Rijal). The subject of this treatise (Risala) is an answer to a famous objection raised by Hazrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi (R.A). While objecting, Hazrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi (R.A) raised the point that Hazrat Hasan Basri's (R.A) narration from Hazrat Ali (R.A) is not connected (Muttasil) but transmitted (Mursal). The author of this treatise (Risalah) has proved with arguments and proofs that Hazrat Ali's (R.A) hadith narrated by Hazrat Hasan Basri (R.A), is not transmitted (Mursal) but connected (Muttasil). Allama Shah Fakhruddin Dehlvi's (R.A) stance has been further strengthened by Allama Hasan-ul-Zaman (R.A), who has supported it by adding more arguments in his Sharah "Al-Qawl Al-Mustehsan fi Fakhar-ul-Hasan".
