جوامع الكلم — Jawami' al-Kalim hadith database

The complete data of Jawami' al-Kalim 4.5 (1431 AH), the hadith program created by Offok and published free of charge by Islamweb as a waqf, extracted from its Windows-only binary format into a single SQLite file.

• 1,400 musnad books and 824,841 narrations, full Arabic text with tashkeel
• 638,237 isnads as ordered narrator chains, linked to 49,845 narrator biographies with their rank and 259,698 critics' verdicts
• Gradings, and takhreej clusters that group every narration of a hadith across all books
• Subject trees, the Quran, six classical Arabic dictionaries, and four major shuruh
• A ready-made full-text search index (SQLite FTS5), and indexes on every short column of the large tables
• Lookup tables that split the comma-separated narrator lists, so "every isnad through narrator X" is an index lookup

Browse it at https://hadith.adhamzahran.com. The same data is queryable over HTTP with a read-only JSON API at https://hadith.adhamzahran.com/api/ (documentation). The extraction code and the site are at https://gitlab.com/lordadamson/hadith.adhamzahran.com (MIT).

Quick start

-- A hadith's text. bhid = '{book_id}_{hadith_num}'; 146 is Sahih al-Bukhari.
SELECT clean_text FROM hadith_text WHERE bhid = '146_1';

-- Full-text search. The index is stored without tashkeel, so search without it too.
SELECT f.bhid, b.name
FROM hadith_fts f
JOIN hadith_text ht USING (bhid)
JOIN books b ON b.book_id = ht.book_id
WHERE hadith_fts MATCH '"إنما الأعمال بالنيات"'
LIMIT 20;

-- The isnad of a narration with each narrator's rank.
-- rawy_ids runs from the compiler back to the companion.
SELECT n.id, n.name, n.wasf_rotba
FROM sanad s, json_each('[' || s.rawy_ids || ']') j
JOIN narrators n ON n.id = j.value
WHERE s.bhid = '146_1'
ORDER BY j.key;

-- Every isnad a narrator appears in (4883 = Ibn Abbas). pos 0 is the compiler's side.
SELECT s.sanad_id, s.bhid, sr.pos
FROM sanad_rawy sr JOIN sanad s ON s.sanad_id = sr.sanad_id
WHERE sr.rawy_id = 4883
LIMIT 20;

-- Every narration of the same hadith across all books.
SELECT h.bhid, b.name
FROM hadith h JOIN books b ON b.book_id = h.book_id
WHERE h.cluster_id = (SELECT cluster_id FROM hadith WHERE bhid = '146_1');

sanad_rawy, hadith_sahabi and book_cluster_sahabi are added on top of the original data to make it searchable (the comma-separated columns they come from are kept as they are). Every short column of the large tables is indexed and ANALYZE has been run, so the query planner is ready to use them.

The full schema with comments is extractor/schema.sql.

Codes

Grading (hadith.hokm, sanad.hokm): 0 صحيح, 1 حسن, 2 ضعيف, 3 ضعيف جداً, 4 متهم, 5 موضوع, -1 not graded.

Narrator rank (narrators.rotba, label in wasf_rotba): 1 صحابي, 2 ثقة حافظ, 3 ثقة, 4 صدوق حسن الحديث, 5 صدوق يخطئ, 6 مقبول, 7 مجهول الحال, 8 ضعيف الحديث, 9 مجهول, 10 متروك الحديث, 11 متهم بالوضع, 12 وضاع.

Inline markup in raw_text: narrator names are wrapped as /94 name L<id> /94 (first narrator), /26 … /26 (chain) and /93 … /93 (companion); /20 starts the matn; /4 … /4 wraps a Quran quotation. render_hadith_html() in the site's api.php turns it into HTML.
