Imam Tirmidhi’s Scholarly Works

Since Imam Tirmidhi (رحمه الله) was highly proficient not only in Hadith and its sciences, but also in history, jurisprudence (fiqh), and Quranic exegesis (tafsir), he authored numerous scholarly books on various subjects. Among his well-known works are:
➊ Kitab al-Jami` — popularly known as *Sunan al-Tirmidhi*.
➋ Al-Shama'il al-Nabawiyyah — commonly known as *Shama'il al-Tirmidhi*, a renowned collection of Hadiths related to the noble character and attributes of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. ‘Abd al-Haqq al-Dehlawi praised this book in his *Ashi‘at al-Lam‘at*.
➌ Kitab al-‘Ilal — on this subject, he authored two books:
① *Kitab al-‘Ilal al-Saghir* and
② *Kitab al-‘Ilal al-Kabir*, where he extensively benefited from his teacher Imam al-Bukhari (رحمه الله).
