Abstract

Hadtih is known as second primary source of Islamic sharia and jurisprudence. Therefore, the companions of Prophet (SW) left no stone unturned in its preservation and propagation wherever they were in different parts of world like Iraq , Syria , Turkey , Yemen , Egypt, etc. They started spreading Hadiths by narrating it and later on specific schools were established for this revered task. Egypt was not less than the other parts in propagation of Hadiths. Here the companions of Prophet (SW) founded a Mosque called Mosque of Amr Ibn al-As in 641-642 AD ; the first Mosque ever built in Egypt and whole Africa.
