Alfiyya of al-Iraqi

Al-Tabsira wa'l-Tadhkira fī ʿUlūm al-Ḥadīth (Arabic: التبصرة والتذكرة في علوم الحديث, lit. 'The Insight and the Remembrance in the Sciences of Hadith'), commonly known as Alfiyya al-Hadith (Arabic: ألفيّة الحديث, lit. 'The Thousand-Verse Poem on Hadith') or just Alfiyya al-Iraqi (Arabic: الألفية العراقية) is a didactic poem of approximately 1002 rajaz verses and serves as a comprehensive guide to hadith terminology and methodology, composed by the Shāfiʿī hadith expert Zain al-Din al-Iraqi (725–806 AH / 1325–1404 CE). The work is a poetic summary of Ibn al-Salah's Muqaddimah, preserving the structure and major discussions of Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ's treatise while presenting them in a highly memorizable verse form. Widely studied across the Muslim world, the Alfiyya became a standard pedagogical text for students of hadith methodology.
