A Sufi Study of Hadith
A Sufi Study of Hadith gathers over three hundred hadith and reads them through the lens of tasawwuf, offering the reader a rare window into how the spiritual tradition of Islam grounds itself directly in the words of the Prophet ﷺ. Originally titled Haqiqa al-Tariqa min as-Sunna al-Aniqa, this is a work of sustained commentary rather than a simple collection — each hadith is translated, interpreted, and then unpacked for what it teaches about the inner life.
The author, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanawi, was one of the subcontinent's most significant spiritual leaders and a scholar of remarkable output. Here he turns his attention specifically to hadith with bearing on tasawwuf, drawing out meanings that a reader might otherwise pass over, and building a picture of the spiritual path as something rooted in the Sunna itself rather than separate from it.
For those trying to understand how the science of hadith and the science of the heart meet, this book offers a steady, scholarly bridge between the two. Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo has described it as invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the Prophet's ﷺ teachings on matters of tasawwuf, and it remains a useful companion for students wanting to see that connection made explicit, hadith by hadith.
