Al-Jamiul Kamil Fee Al-Hadith As-Sahih Al-Shamil or in short Jami ul Kamil (Arabic: الجامع الكامل في الحديث الصحيح الشامل), known in English as The Comprehensive Collection of all Authentic Prophetic Narrations or The Authentic Hadith Encyclopaedia, is a secondary hadith collection book, compiled by the Islamic scholar Imam Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi (1943 CE – 30 July 2020 CE). In this book, the author claims that he has compiled all Authentic Prophetic Narrations (Sahih Ahadith) from more than two hundred books.^[1][2][3]

Description

Drawing from 40 years of scholarship and 20 years specifically compiling the work, Azami is the first person in history to compile a comprehensive statement of all sahih and hasan hadiths in one work. Azami states that he is confident that if not 100%, he has captured 95% of all authentic narrations of the Prophet's sunnah. According to Islamic scholar Muhammad Ishaq Bhatti, "this is such a work that no one has done before."^[4]

Number of Hadith

The first edition contains 16,546 sahih or hasan hadiths.

Azami estimates that the totality of hadiths in all books are 40,000 hadiths (with repetition removed). 8,000 hadiths exist in the kutub al-sittah (with repetition removed); 19,000 in the zawaid (of the Musnad of Ahmed, bazzar, Abu Ya'la, and Tabrani's three). The zawa'id (unique hadiths not found elsewhere) do not constitute more than 10,000.

He states that the number of authentic texts (mutun sahiha) are approximately between 12,000 and 15,000. The vast majority of these are from the kutub al-sittah, Ahmed's Musnad and Malik's Muwatta - he estimates no more than 2,000 exist elsewhere.

Editions

The first edition was published in 2016 by Dar us Salam, Riyad in 12 volumes. Al-Maktabah al-Shamela digitised this edition and it is available online.^[5] Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi then compiled an abridged version (mukhtasar) in the next few years that omits commentary on each hadith's authenticity (takhrij), only containing the hadiths, and omitting the additional c.1000 weak hadith that others considered authentic but he declared weak.

Translations

The English translation of the abridged edition is complete and is awaiting publication (as of January 2024).^[6] Zakir Naik highly praised the book and stated that he is working on the publication of the english translation of the book, to be published by Dar us-Salam, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.^[5][7] Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria edited the first volume of the bengali translation of the book translated by Abdullah Al-Mamun Al-Azhari.^[8] and its Urdu translation under supervision of Sheikh Ibn Bashir and Abdul Rehman Mahdi is in progress too.
