An Analytical Study of Ghunyat-ul-Qari Sharah Sahih Al Bukhari

Abstract

Ahadith of the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیه و سلم) are actually interpretations and explanations of the Holy Quran. There are many books of ahadith among which six are the most prominent which are known as Sihah-e-Sitta (صِحاحِ ستہ). The authors of these Sihah-e-Satta are Non-Arab. This means that Non-Arab have done immense services of Hadith.Sahih Al Bukhari is one of the most authentic Books of hadith. Shaikh Ibn-e-Hajar Al Asqalani says:"اصح الکتب بعد کتاب الله الصحیح للبخاری" The most authentic Book after Qur’an is Sahih Al-Bukhari”. Many Muslim scholars have written commentaries on Sahih Al Bukhari in different languages. The most prominent commentaries of Sahih Al Bukhari are: Fath-ul-Bari and Umdat-ul-Qari, Al Kawakib-ud-Durari, Irshadu Sari and Kashf-Ul-Bari. One of the commentary of  Sahih Al-Bukhari is Ghunyat-ul-Qari, which is in Arabic language by Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khaliq Bajuri. Although he is a foreigner (عجمی) but this commentary does not see the signs of Non Arabs. This commentary is actually the summary of Fath-ul-Bari, Umdat-ul-Qari, Sharh Ibn-e- Battal etc. Most of it is in the form of manuscript, on which the research work has just started. This article is also a part of the research. It presents an analytical study of Ghunyat-ul-Qari. Molana Abdul Khaliq explains the ahadith in a good way. He introduces the narrators of the hadith, its difficult words, meanings and much more which are explained in this article.
