Although scholars have long studied how Muslims authenticated and
transmitted Muhammad's sayings and practices (hadith), the story of
how they interpreted and reinterpreted the meanings of hadith over
the past millennium has yet to be told. Joel Blecher takes up this
charge, illuminating the rich social and intellectual history of
hadith commentary at three critical moments: classical Andalusia,
medieval Egypt, and modern India. Weaving together tales of public
debates, high court rivalries, and colonial politics with analyses
of contemporary field notes and fine-grained arguments adorning the
margins of manuscripts, Said the Prophet of God offers new avenues
for the study of religion, history, anthropology, and law.
