Overview
The Hadith book in which all the Hadith reported by a particular companion are compiled is called a Mustadrak.
A Mustadrak is a type of hadith collection that focuses on the reports of a specific companion of the Prophet Muhammad.
The term Mustadrak literally means "to affirm" or "to confirm", and refers to the process of verifying and authenticating hadiths.
One of the most famous examples of a Mustadrak is the Al-Mustadrak 'ala al-Sahihayn, compiled by Hakim al-Nishapuri.
This collection contains hadiths that are not found in the Sahih Bukhari or the Sahih Muslim, but are still considered authentic and reliable.
The Mustadrak is an important tool for Islamic scholars and researchers seeking to understand the teachings of Islam and the prophetic traditions.
The Mustadrak provides a valuable resource for Muslims seeking to understand the reports of the companions and the historical context of Islamic events.
The compilation of a Mustadrak requires rigorous scholarship and attention to detail, as the compiler must carefully verify and authenticate each hadith to ensure its reliability and trustworthiness.
