In the current complex era of rapid globalization, various sects, misguided groups, and terrorist organizations have attempted to misinterpret Hadiths to fit their own agendas, which poses potential risks to societal harmony. Similarly, certain sects and groups misinterpret Hadiths and fail to understand the original purpose of compiling them, leading to incorrect use of Hadith collections. In the modern context of Uzbekistan, efforts have started to study Hadiths based on scientific sources in a fair and objective manner. This involves examining the history of Hadith collections and their comparative study. Historically, the 3rd century Hijri (9th century CE) is considered the golden age of Hadith studies, with significant works accomplished in this field. Scholars of Hadith devotedly worked to preserve the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and prevent the distortion or alteration of Hadiths. Each Hadith scholar developed their own unique methodology for compiling collections. Among the notable works, Abu Bakr Kalobodi’s “Bahra-l-Favoid” stands out as an influential text widely studied in religious institutions and highly respected by scholars. The manuscript copies of “Bahra-l-Favoid” are crucial in understanding its historical and scholarly impact. These manuscripts have been preserved in various libraries and archives worldwide, with detailed studies about their content and preservation.
