Reviews

'... an excellent contribution to extending our understanding of the history of early Hadith transmission ... The author is to be commended for her painstaking efforts in bringing out this wealth of insightful material for a wider readership.' Muslim World Book Review


'… an excellent contribution to extending our understanding of the history of early Hadith transmission … The author is to be commended for her painstaking efforts in bringing out this wealth of insightful material for a wider readership.' Muslim World Book Review 'This work by Sayeed is not merely another study on women or gender with a focus on Sunni Islam. Similarly, it is not just about Islamic education and the dissemination of Hadith (stories about the practices and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) that serve as norms for Islamic behavior, both religious and secular. Sayeed's perspectives are much more inclusive, bringing together various methodologies and disciplines … Highly recommended.' S. P. Blackburn, Choice
