Abstract

Short abstract. This research examines a work on the science of Hadith terminology (*Mustalah al-Hadith*) that focuses on explaining *Nukhbat al-Fikar*. It aims to elucidate the methodology of Mahmud Shukri al-Alusi as demonstrated in his book *‘Iqd al-Durar fi Sharh Mukhtasar Nukhbat al-Fikar*, highlighting his presentation of Hadith-related issues and the diversity of his sources. The study concludes that al-Alusi demonstrated a keen interest in the science of Hadith through his presentation and critical analysis of the subject matter. Furthermore, al-Alusi is recognized as a prominent Islamic scholar who significantly influenced the scholarly landscape; he possessed extensive knowledge and a critical aptitude—qualities evident in his diverse sources and his well-substantiated critiques of earlier scholars. A simplified presentation style, avoiding verbosity in explanation and commentary, stands out as a hallmark of al-Alusi’s methodology.
