Nuzhat al-Nazar fi Tawdih Nukhbat al-Fikar - Tahqiq al-QasimIbn Hajar Al-Asqalani

and the manner (1) of compiling it may be as follows: one may arrange it by the musnads, collecting the musnad of every (2) Companion separately. If he so wishes, he may order them according to their precedence in Islam (3), or, if he prefers, alphabetically, which is easier to handle.

Or he may organize it by topical chapters—fiqh-related or otherwise—so that, within each chapter (4), he gathers everything transmitted on that subject that indicates its ruling, whether confirming or negating it. What is preferable is to restrict himself to what is authentic or sound; but if he decides to include everything, then let him clarify the defect in what is weak.

Or he may compile it (5) on the basis of ʿilal (hidden defects) (6): he cites (7) the text, its various transmission routes, and explains the points at which its narrators differ. The best practice is to arrange these too by chapters, making them easier to consult.

Or he may gather it by aṭrāf, mentioning (8) the opening words (9) of the hadith that point (10) to the rest of it, and collecting (11) its chains of transmission—either exhaustively, or in a form limited (12) to specific books.

(1) Y reads “wa-sifatu,” in the nominative; the adopted wording follows W. (2) The word “kull” (every) is absent from W. (3) W has “rattaba.” (4) T reads “tajmaʿ” in place of “yajmaʿa fi.” (5) D reads “tasnifuhu,” nominative; the preferred reading follows T and K. (6) J adds the phrase “al-shuyukh wa-l-ʿilal” (the shaykhs and the hidden defects). (7) D has “fa-yadhkura” in the subjunctive; it is omitted in the other copies, and the adopted wording is clearer. (8) J reads “wa-yadhkura.” (9) A reads “baqiyyah.” (10) The preposition “ʿala” (upon) is missing in A. (11) H and L read “wa-yajmaʿ,” with fatḥa on the ʿayn; the accepted text is that of B. (12) D reads “aw muqayyadan”; J, W, Z, Y, and L have “wa-imma mutaqayadan.”
[صفة تصنيف الحديث] (وَ) صِفَةِ (١) (تَصْنِيفِهِ)؛ وَذَلِكَ إِمَّا (عَلَى المَسَانِيدِ)؛ بِأَنْ يَجْمَعَ مُسْنَدَ كُلِّ (٢) صَحَابِيٍّ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ رَتَّبَهُ (٣) عَلَى سَوَابِقِهِمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَتَّبَهُ عَلَى حُرُوفِ المُعْجَمِ، وَهُوَ أَسْهَلُ تَنَاوُلاً. (أَوْ) تَصْنِيفِهِ عَلَى (الأَبْوَابِ) الفِقْهِيَّةِ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا، بِأَنْ يَجْمَعَ فِي (٤) كُلِّ بَابٍ مَا وَرَدَ فِيهِ مِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى حُكْمِهِ إِثْبَاتاً أَوْ نَفْياً، وَالأَوْلَى أَنْ يَقْتَصِرَ عَلَى مَا صَحَّ أَوْ حَسُنَ، فَإِنْ جَمَعَ الجَمِيعَ فَلْيُبَيِّنْ عِلَّةَ الضَّعِيفِ. (أَوْ) تَصْنِيفِهِ (٥) عَلَى (العِلَلِ) (٦) فَيَذْكُرُ (٧) المَتْنَ وَطُرُقَهُ، وَبَيَانَ اخْتِلَافِ نَقَلَتِهِ، وَالأَحْسَنُ أَنْ يُرَتِّبَهَا عَلَى الأَبْوَابِ لِيَسْهُلَ تَنَاوُلُهَا. (أَوْ) يَجْمَعُهُ عَلَى (الأَطْرَافِ) فَيَذْكُرُ (٨) طَرَفَ (٩) الحَدِيثِ الدَّالَّ عَلَى (١٠) بَقِيَّتِهِ، وَيَجْمَعُ (١١) أَسَانِيدَهُ: إِمَّا مُسْتَوْعِباً، وَإِمَّا مُقَيَّداً (١٢) بِكُتُبٍ مَخْصُوصَةٍ.
