This encyclopedic work on Islam comprises English translations of all canonical Hadiths, complete with their respective chains of transmission (isnads).
By conflating the variant versions of the same Hadith, the repetitiveness of ist literature has been kept wherever possible to a minimum. The latest methods of isnad analysis, described in the general introduction, have been employed in an attempt to identify the person(s) responsible for each Hadith.

The book is organized in the alphabetical order of those persons. These are the so-called 'common links'. Each of them is listed with the tradition(s) for the wording of which he can be held accountable, or with which he can at least be associated.
Within each article, the traditions are referred to in bold figures in the numerical order as they were distilled from the more than 19,000 isnads listed in Tuhfat al-ashraf bi ma'rifat al-atraf by the Syrian Hadith scholar Yusuf b. Abd ar-Rahman al-Mizzi (d. 742/1341).

Medieval commentaries as well as assorted biographical lexicons were drawn upon to illustrate the text of each tradition in all theological, social, legal and other noteworthy aspects discernible in it. Thus no details of eschatology, superstitions, miraculous phenomena, Jahili practices etc. were left without the clarifying comments of contemporary and later theologians, historians and Hadith experts culled from such works as the Fath al-bari, a major commentary of Bukhari's Sahih by Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (d. 852/1448) or the commentary by Yahya b. Sharaf an-Nawawi (d. 676/1277) of the Sahih of Muslim b. al-Hajjaj.
