On Schacht's Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence (Islamic Texts Society)
'For the first time we have a  work like Azami's; he has devoted literally years of  research to the investigation of Hadith and has analysed, tested and passed scholarly judgement on Schacht's argument step by step, working with actual hadith materials. This book is indeed an effective response to Schacht...Azami has, through this and other works, demonstrated himself to be an outstanding scholar of Hadith ...he is the most well-versed and learned scholar of the Islamic science of tradition.'  --Journal of Near Eastern Studies
