الحميد
(الحمد) في اللغة هو الثناء، والفرقُ بينه وبين (الشكر): أن (الحمد)...
A book of hadith in which the author enters hadiths from a hadith anthology, citing his own chains of transmission. His chains of transmission meet with the author’s chains at the latter’s teacher or narrators before him. The condition that applies in this case is that the author does not reach a farther narrator unless he has already used what brings him to the closer one, except for a valid reason, such as the shortness of the chain of transmission or an important addition.
