Description

The accounts concerning the conversion of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari might not be considered to be of much historical value, nevertheless they may interest the student of the history of religion as an example of the methodology followed by some of the earlier traditionists of Islam. The new feature in this book is the collection in abridged form of all the hadith ascribed to

Abu Dharr al-Ghifari and of all the accounts concerning him. The student of religion may welcome this as a critical apparatus.
