Al-Madkhal ila Ulum al-Hadith al-Sharif (Arabic: المدخل إلى علوم الحديث الشريف) is a book written by Muhammad Abdul Malek that serves as an introductory guide to the science of Hadith.
Authored by Muhammad Abdul Malek, it commences with an introductory section that addresses the present state of the science of Hadith and the neglect of its significant branches.
[3] Abdul Malek also tackles a common inquiry concerning the necessity of specializing in the science of Hadith despite the existence of extensive works by scholars on the subject.
He explains that specialization is crucial in all fields of Islamic knowledge and underscores the significance of studying the nomenclature and principles of scholars to truly benefit from their contributions.
Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri, the former head of the Department of Hadith at Darul Uloom Deoband, offered a positive assessment, expressing his genuine pleasure and admiration for the work.
