This thread is linked to a paper I am trying to write. The paper surveys the works of gharib al-hadith with a view to determining a working definition of the the term "gharib". Through a diachronic and synchronic treatment of the subject it will attempt to explore questions such as the nature of the definition in each of the eras that hadith masters compiled these works in. It will also ask whether the number of gharib entries expand with each passing generation. The methodology of the lexicographers who compiled these works will also be studied in order to identify similarities and differences. Your contributions will be welcome.
