Urdu: Mishkat ul Masabeeh (3 Vol. Set)

Six thousand ahadith, drawn from the Six Books and beyond

Mishkat al-Masabih (مشکاۃ المصابیح) — "A Niche for Lamps" is a selection of hadith compiled by Imam Khatib at-Tabrizi (d. 741 AH / 1340 CE), who expanded on an earlier selection named Masabih as-Sunnah by Imam al-Baghawi. This complete Urdu edition presents the Arabic text alongside Urdu translation across three hardbound volumes on high-quality paper, translated by Abu Anas Muhammad Sasorkuhri.

What the collection covers

Mishkat al-Masabih contains approximately 6,000 hadith chosen from the Six Books (Kutub Sittah), Musnad Ahmad, and various other collections — a comprehensive selection covering almost every aspect of Islamic belief, jurisprudence (fiqh), and virtues, gathered into a single reference rather than left scattered across a dozen separate books.

Why this compilation is valuable

Because At-Tabrizi drew from such a wide range of sources and organized the material thematically, Mishkat al-Masabih functions as a practical one-stop reference for students who want representative hadith on nearly any topic without consulting each of the six canonical collections separately.
