Tachrīdsch

As Tachrīdsch ( Arabic تخريج, DMG taḫrīǧ  , extraction, derivation, derivation ') is a procedure in Islamic hadith science in which the sources and isnāde of hadiths are determined that have been handed down without this information. The method is of great importance because in many books of Islamic literature hadiths are cited without such source references.

From the 13th century onwards, various Muslims wrote their own tachrīdj works in which they checked the reliability of the hadiths cited in other books and demonstrated from which collections of hadiths these hadiths were taken. For example, the Hanafi scholar Jamāl ad-Dīn al-Zailaʿī (d. 1361) wrote a tachrīdj on the hadiths of the important Hanafi legal manual al-Hidāya by al-Marghinānī (d. 1196/7). And Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalānī (d. 1449) dedicated a tachrīdj to the Kaššāf , the well-known Koran commentary by az-Zamachscharī , in which he examined the hadiths cited therein. Ibn Hajar's teacher Zain ad-Dīn al-ʿIrāqī (d. 1404) had already created a very critical Tachrīdsch work on the hadiths, which al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) referred to in his main mystical work Iḥyāʾ ʿulūm ad-dīn . Later there were also various works on the methodological foundations of the Tachrīdsch procedure.
