Urdu: Hedayatul Qari Sharh Sahih Al-Bukhari (10 Vol Set)

A full ten-volume commentary on Islam's most authentic hadith collection

Reading Sahih Al-Bukhari in translation gives a reader the text; a proper sharh (commentary) gives them the reasoning, context, and scholarly discussion behind each hadith. Hidayat-ul-Qari Sharh Sahih Al-Bukhari (ہدایۃ القاری شرح صحیح البخاری) is exactly that — a complete ten-volume Urdu commentary on the collection compiled by Imam Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad ibn Isma'il Al-Bukhari, with translation and commentary by Hafiz Abdus Sattar Al-Hammad.

Why a full commentary matters

Sahih Al-Bukhari's chapters and chapter headings are famously dense with implied fiqh reasoning — Imam Bukhari's own scholarly positions are often expressed through nothing more than how he titled a chapter or arranged a sequence of narrations. A ten-volume sharh gives that reasoning room to be unpacked properly, rather than compressed into brief footnotes.

Publication details

Published by Dar-us-Salam, Lahore, this set is built as a lasting reference for serious students of hadith who have already read Sahih Al-Bukhari in translation and want the fuller scholarly explanation behind its chapters and rulings.
