Abstract

Scholars produced many works that preserved the Prophet's tradition as well as the companions and followers' proverbs. Moreover, they are developing other new types of manuscripts that serve this purpose. One of these manuscript types is called the introductions and conclusions of prophet's traditions "Al-iftetahyat and alkhotoom". This work aims to explore that type of manuscripts for interested scholars. The work defines this type of manuscripts, its origin, and evolution. Then listed the manuscripts, either printed or hand-written. In addition, the work presented the scholars approaches, methodology, and the benefits from such manuscripts. The research concluded that the written introductions and conclusions are crucial due to its valuable information that forms a base material to prophet's tradition scholars (Muhadditheen) books. Keywords: Prophet's tradition books, Scholars methodology.
