The Lifting of Secrets Concerning Forged Reports was written over
four hundred years ago by a respected and prolific Meccan savant of
Afghan origin. Mulla Ali al-Qari (d. 1014/1605) was thoroughly
familiar with the large body of critical literature on hadith
forgery, which he refined and reordered alphabetically into 625
entries. Al-Qari's last work, it is the only catalogue of forgeries
with both a transmission-based and content-based critique,
illustrating the author's vast erudition as well as his lenient
choices in hadith methodology and his classic Hanafi and Sufi
views. The translator has added his own study of the forgery and
"famous hadith" genres, the life and works of the author, extensive
footnotes and exhaustive indices. A total of 3,000 reports are
documented in this volume covering doctrinal and juridical
forgeries, Shia forgeries, Sufi forgeries, racial forgeries,
misogynistic forgeries, food forgeries, "Israelite" forgeries,
medical forgeries, sex forgeries, spurious books, spurious
grave-spots and more. This is the first and long overdue authentic
reference work on hadith forgeries in English. 1. Hadith-Criticism,
