Much like prof. Ahmed El-Shamy's recent book, Rediscovering the Islamic Classics, Yasir Qadhi shows us how Sharh as-Sunnah is a product of the modern printing press. Modern printing has tricked people into thinking obscure medieval texts were somehow part of the medieval canon. How can we know what is the best book to read or correct sect to follow? That is where historical research can fill some gaps and provide some answers.

Doctrinal Instruction in Early Islam: The Book of the Explanation of the Sunna by Ghulām Khalīl (d. 275/888) by Maher Jarrar (Brill 2020)

"This pioneering study casts important new light on key issues in the development of dogmatic instruction in early Islam, as it examines the creed written by the Basran and Baghdadi Sunni preacher Ghulām Khalīl (d. 275/888). It includes a critical edition of the Arabic text and an English translation of what appears to be one of the earliest statements of religious beliefs in Islam. In particular, this book argues convincingly that this influential text was authored by the ninth century Ghulām Khalīl rather than the Hanbali preacher of Baghdad, al-Barbahārī - a claim repeatedly made by modern scholars, both Western and Eastern. The present publication broaches multi-layered themes with the aim of specifying the parameters of this "Muslim Creed" in terms of the composite relationship between its content and its origin. In addition, it tackles the important question of what may have led modern Salafis to embrace the doctrinal positions of this particular statement of belief and practice and, perhaps more importantly, to pursue its 'institutionalization' as a religious orthodoxy."

Assalamu alaykum. I grew up in Hyde Park in Chicago. Are you currently a phd candidate at the University of Chicago? Do you think Dr. Qadhi's thesis has any merit from a textual position (i.e. Sharh as-Sunnah has a writing style different from other books by Imam Barbahari)?

[@HamzaTheHistorian]

Wa Alaykum Salām, I did my masters there. I do think his thesis has merit, he did out line that in his video, where the writing style and ideas were different than that of Barbahari

As-salamu alaykum! Brother, as you quoted from the book that Islamic texts that *weren't* standard in the medieval period *became* standard or were made to appear as if they were standard in that era Then how do we decipher which texts have and haven't been standard texts throughout Islamic scholarship???

[@HamzaTheHistorian]

wa Alaykum Salam, this is evinced through the manuscript tradition. Books that were highly transmitted had many copies made, referred to often in other books, you find it in multiple regions, etc.
