Continuity in chains of Narration (Arabic only). Hadiths are texts recording the words, deeds and approvals of the Prophet of Islam (Muhammad peace be upon him). These hadiths are preceded by a chain of narrators each of whom claims to have heard the hadith from his teacher--ending on the Prophet himself. Evaluating the reliability of these hadiths relies in part on ensuring that the chain of narration is complete and each narrator has actually heard the hadith from the person he claims to have heard it from. This treatise deals with this sub-field of haith criticism.
