Notes

  1. ^ Mu‘jam (“alphabetical”) may refer to an alphabetical dictionary arrangement, or to consonants marked with diacritical points. Editor Dodge in his English translation of Al-Fihrist note that these probably refer to two legal compilations. [5] However editor De Slane in his translation to Ibn Khallikān’s Wafayāt notes this was a catalogue of the Companions of Muḥammad. [6]
  2. ^ Musnad term related to isnad that refers to a ‘supported’, or ‘authenticated’, text according to Arab and Islāmic literary tradition.
