Aalim Publication Foundation

It was decided to publish in the classical Tamil language the world-renowned Hadith collection, "Musnad Ahmad," compiled by the great Islamic scholar and Hadith compiler, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah), who lived in the 8th century CE.

Based on this, after several rounds of discussions conducted by a team of translation scholars and community enthusiasts since July 2018, an Islamic book publishing organization was established, and its inauguration ceremony was successfully held on 05.05.2019. 

With five prominent community leaders, who are social and religious enthusiasts, serving as directors, the "Aalim Publication Foundation" was established and formally registered as a not-for-profit organization. By the grace of God, this organization has been operating in the city of Chennai since 01.07.2019.

Book Introduction

The great Hadith collection, Musnad Ahmad, compiled by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah), has been published in Arabic in 12 volumes. This collection includes 14 chapters, 1,306 sections, and 26,363 Hadiths.

What sets this significant work apart from other Hadith collections is that the chapters are organized according to the names of the Sahabah (the companions of the Prophet), so all the Hadiths narrated by a particular Sahabi can be found in one place. This collection contains Hadiths narrated by nearly 1,000 Sahabah.

Imam Ahmad himself remarked about his work: "I have selected only 26,363 Hadiths from 750,000, and compiled them here. If there is a difference of opinion among Muslims on any Hadith-related matter, they should refer to this book! If they find what they are looking for here, good! If not, it means what they seek is not authenticated."

Imam Ahmad also advised his son, Abdullah ibn Ahmad (rahimahullah): "Preserve this book well! Soon, it will become a guide for the people."

In Tamil, each volume contains approximately 800 to 1,000 Hadiths, along with the original Arabic text, translation, and footnotes. So far, six volumes containing 6187 Hadiths have been published in Tamil.

Book Introduction

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal bin Hilal bin Asad (may Allah have mercy on him), a descendant of Prophet Ismail (peace be upon him), was born in the year 164 AH (780 CE) in the town of Marv, located in Turkmenistan. He later moved with his mother to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Imam Ahmad was an orphan, having lost his father in his early childhood.

He began his early education in Baghdad, where he memorized the Qur'an and studied some Hadith under scholars like Imam Abu Yusuf and Hushaym bin Bashir (may Allah have mercy on them). After that, he traveled to cities such as Basra, Kufa, Makkah, Yemen, Egypt, and al-Ray, seeking knowledge from the great scholars of those regions.

In this way, he became well-versed in various fields such as Arabic language, Hadith, the science of narrators, hidden flaws in narrations, Shariah law, and theology, becoming a polymath. Among his notable teachers were Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah, Yahya bin Sa’id al-Qattan, Imam al-Shafi’i, Yazid bin Harun, and Waki’ bin al-Jarrah (may Allah have mercy on them). It is also worth mentioning that Imam Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) and Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) were the teachers of Imam Ahmad’s teachers.

Among those who narrated Hadith from Imam Ahmad were prominent scholars. Three of the six main Hadith collectors—Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, and Imam Abu Dawood (may Allah have mercy on them)—were his direct students. The other three—Imam Tirmidhi, Imam Nasa’i, and Imam Ibn Majah (may Allah have mercy on them)—were students of his students. Additionally, the Hadith scholar Imam Yahya bin Ma’een (may Allah have mercy on him) was also one of his primary students.

Imam Ahmad led a life of worship, following the Prophet's (peace be upon him) traditions, living ascetically, holding firmly to his beliefs, and working tirelessly. Despite severe poverty, he lived with dignity and honor. He passed away in Baghdad at the age of 75 in the year 241 AH (855 CE).
கடுமையான வறுமையிலும் தன்மானத்தோடும் கௌரவத்தோடும் வாழ்ந்து வழிகாட்டிய இமாம் அவர்கள் ஹிஜ்ரீ 241 (கி.பி. 855)இல் பஃக்தாதில் தமது 75ஆவது வயதில் மறைந்தார்கள்.
