The translator has added his own study of the forgery and āfamous hadithā genres, the life and works of the author, extensive footnotes and exhaustive indices.
The 230-page introduction in seven sections consists of:
1. Forgers and the reasons for hadith forgeries
2. Characteristics of forged content and matn implausibility
3. Notorious forgers
4. Typology of forgeries
5. āFamous Hadithā and āForgeryā compilations

The book totals 740 pages and 1558 footnotes, and discusses approximately 3,000 hadiths in the twin lights of current and past scholarly expertise of this field.
