Anwar al-Bari sharh Sahih al-Bukhari
Book by Anwar Shah Kashmiri
Anwar al-Bari sharh Sahih al-Bukhari (Urdu: انوار الباری شرح صحیح البخاری) is a 19-volume Urdu commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari. It was compiled by Ahmad Rida Bijnori, drawing from the teachings of Anwar Shah Kashmiri. This commentary features the original Arabic text of Sahih al-Bukhari alongside a literal Urdu translation, enhancing its accessibility to a wider audience. It provides biographical information about hadith scholars and narrators in the transmission chains, as well as delves into various facets of Islamic jurisprudence and theology. The work extensively defends the validity of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence. The compiler, however, only completed the commentary up to the end of the Book of Prayer, accompanied by a discussion on the final chapter concerning Imaan (faith) and Tawhid (monotheism).
