:salam:

Below is the short biography of Shaykh Muhammad Mustafa Al-Azami, who studied at Deoband, al-Azhar and Cambridge Universities. Could someone list his books, and tell me if the books (written by him) mentioned at the end of the excerpt below are out yet? JazakAllah Khaira, Wasalam.


Muhammad Mustafa Al-Azami, one of the world's premier scholars of Hadith, was born in Mau, India in the early 1930s and received his education successively at Dar al-Ulum Deoband, India (1952), al-Azhar University, Cairo (M.A., 1955), and University of Cambridge (Ph.D., 1966). He is Professor Emeritus at King Sa'ud University (Riyadh) where he also chaired the department of Islamic Studies; he holds a Saudi citizenship. Al-Azami served as curator of the National Public Library, Qatar; Associate Professor at Umm al-Qura University (Makkah); Visiting Scholar at University of Michigan (Ann Arbor); Visiting Fellow at St. Cross College (University of Oxford); King Faisal Visiting Professor for Islamic Studies at Princeton; and Visiting Scholar at University of Colorado (Boulder). He is also an Honorary Professor at University of Wales (Lampeter). His publications include Studies in Early Hadith Literature, Hadith Methodology and Literature, On Schacht's Origins of Muahmmadan Jurisprudence, Dirasat fi al-Hadith an-Nabawi, Kuttab an-Nabi, Manhaj an-Naqd 'ind al-Muhaddithin, and al-Muhaddithun min al-Yamamah. Among his credited works are al-Ilal of Ibn al-Madini, Kitab at-Tamyiz of Imam Muslim, Maghazi Rasulullah of Urwah ibn Zubayr, Muwatta Imam Malik, Sahih ibn Khuzaimah, and Sunan ibn Majah. Many of al-Azami's works have been translated internationally, and his forthcoming works include The Qur'anic Challenge: A Promise Fulfilled, and The Isnad System: Its Origins and Authenticity. In 1980 he was the recipient of the prestigious King Faisal International Award for Islamic Studies.

Here are the books that I found when searching.

1. The History of the Qur'an Text From Revelation to Compilation: A comparative study with the Old and New Testaments.
--- I read this book, and Alhamdulillah benefited from it. A related book that I read recently is Mufti Taqi Uthamani's Uloomul Quran (english translation). I think Mufti Taqi's book dealt with certain things in more detail.

2. Studies in Early Hadith Literature

3. On Schacht's Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence
---- I read a little bit of this. This books shows the weakness in Schacht's theories.

4. Studies in Hadith Methodology and Literature

I don't know whether 4 is the newer version of 2.

Salaam,
Hope this helps.
1 and 2 are in Albalagh, 3 and 4 are also in Amazon.com. Some google searching might reveal other sources as well.

I found a PDF of Shaykh's book The history of Qur'anic text: From revelation to compilation

Looks to be an interesting read.
