Takhrīj is also a guidance that describes the presence of a particular Ḥadīth in original sources and mentions its chain of transmission as well as narrates, if it is required in reliability of that Ḥadīth. Whereas “Tarf l adīth” means narrating a piece of Ḥadīth that connotes the whole adīth. This terminology is exclusively associated with Takhrīj l adīth. The “Atraf l adīth” is the referral book of Aadīth in which the author mentions a well-known portion of adīth and sometimes he brings a word or sentence alphabetically to refer the body of text from same adīth. It maks easy to complete the chain of transmission of theadīth. Moreover, the author also mentions the complete referral books in which that particular adīth is narrated. The “Kutubl faharis” (Books of Indexes) are also guide to make easy indexes of Aadīth by which the particular adīth may be searched from the original sources of Aadīth. This article deals with the fundamentals of the art of “Atarāf l adīth” as well as introduction and methodological study of “Tofat-l-Ashrāf bi M’arifati l Atrāf” that is most important book on this topic written by Hafiz ul Muzzi, the famous Syrian scholar of adīth sciences in 8th century Hijrah.
