Abstract

Undoubtedly, it is known for any researcher in Hadeith sciences that the famous book of Inb As-Salah “Muqadimat Ibn As-Salah” has a scientific place; it is the most famous one in terminology. This book was summarized by different scholars, of them is Ibn Katheir in a book entitled “Ikhtisar Uloom Al-Hadeith”. I read much in these two books – the original and the summary, I found in the latter, “Ikhtisar Uloom Al-Hadeith”, important additions in spite of his summary for the original one. To get the benefit of these additions by researchers, I was interested in collecting them to be used by those who are interested in this science for their benefits. I collected them to be the title of my thesis “Ziyadat Al-Hafidh Ibn Katheir in His Book “Ikhtisar Uloom Al-Hadeith” ‘al Ibn As-Salah wa Shey’ Min Faweidiha”. The study aims at:-1-The additions Ibn Katheir put.2-The benefits of these additions, as he added to Ibn As-=Salah’s book important additions which are invaluable. They are worth being known by scholars and those who are interested in the science of Hadeith to explore them and their significance.
