+|---|---|---|
+| **What it is** | The program: a desktop window and a command line on one engine | Every hadith collection and rijal work isnady reads, in one format |
+| **What is in it** | Search, the chain reader (Sunni and Shia), narrator identification, books, scholars, statistics, the glossary, meaning search | **17 Sunni and 16 Shia hadith collections — 99,746 hadith** — in Arabic and up to eight translations, with their grades; **Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib*** (8,824 narrators) and **al-Najashi's *Rijal*** (1,266) |
+| **How you get it** | [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/isnady/) (`pip install isnady`), the desktop applications of the [Releases](https://github.com/bayramkotan/isnady/releases/latest), or the one-line installers | Nothing to download by hand: isnady lists its books in **Data sources** and imports them in one click — or clone it and read it offline, or take a whole [ready database](https://github.com/bayramkotan/isnady-data/releases) |

 ## 🎯 Why isnady
-A hadith is two things: the text (*matn*) and the chain of people who passed it on
-(*isnad*). Most hadith sites let you search the text and show a grade. isnady is built
-the other way round: the chain comes first, because that is where the scholars of hadith
-did their work.
-- **The chain is read, not typed in.** isnady reads the chain from the Arabic text itself:
-  who narrated to whom, with which words, and whether it reaches the Prophet.
-- **Nothing is guessed.** Where the wording cannot be read with confidence, the chain is
-  kept whole and marked, never split wrongly. A missing link is shown as missing.
-- **Every fact has a source.** Every hadith, text and grade records where it came from,
-  under which licence.
-- **Grades are shown as the scholars gave them.** Each grade keeps its scholar's name and
-  wording; isnady does not merge them or invent its own.
-- **Window and command line, same engine.** Everything the window does, the command line
-  does too, with the same results.

+  The two meet on the same pages and are never measured by each other's scale.
+- **Nothing is guessed.** Where the wording cannot be read with confidence, the chain is kept
+  whole and marked, never split wrongly. A narrator is named only when the evidence leaves one
+  person; otherwise isnady says how many it could be.
+- **Every fact has a source.** Every hadith, text and grade records where it came from, under
+  which licence.
+- **Grades are shown as the scholars gave them.** Each grade keeps its scholar's name and wording;
+  grades are ordered categories, never averaged, and isnady never invents its own.
+- **Computed once, kept.** Every statistic and model is saved as JSON beside your data and read
+  back, never computed again for the same data.

 ## 🚀 Quick Start
-isnady ships without hadith data: you choose the sources. One command brings in Sahih
-al-Bukhari and Sunan Abi Dawud in Arabic and Turkish from the open
-[fawazahmed0/hadith-api](https://github.com/fawazahmed0/hadith-api) collection (public
-domain):
+1. **Open isnady** — `iy`, or the desktop application.
+2. **File → Data Sources.** The repository is already chosen: **isnady-data**. Tick the books and
+   the languages you want and press **Import** — or **Import all**.
+3. **Import the narrators too** — Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib* for the Sunni books, al-Najashi's *Rijal*
+   for the Shia books — and every name in every chain is matched to its narrator.
+4. **Search**, open a chain, open a narrator, read a book.
+The same from the command line:
 ```bash
-iy import fawazahmed0 https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions.json \
-   --book bukhari --book abudawud --language ara --language tur --license Unlicense
+iy catalog list                                           # the books of isnady-data
+iy catalog import sahih_al_bukhari --language ara --language tur
+iy catalog import musnad_ahmad_ibn_hanbal
+iy catalog import al_kafi_al_kulayni                      # with al-Majlisi's and al-Behbudi's grades
+iy catalog import taqrib_al_tahdhib_ibn_hajar_al_asqalani # the narrators of the Sunni chains
+iy catalog import rijal_al_najashi_ahmad_ibn_ali_al_najashi  # the narrators of the Shia chains
+iy catalog import --all                                   # everything
+iy search النيات              # Arabic, with or without diacritics
+iy search "niyetlere göre"     # Turkish, English, any imported language
+iy chain bukhari 1             # one chain, narrator by narrator
+iy chain kafi 5:1740           # a Shia chain, read the Shia way
+iy narrator الزهري             # who a narrator is
 ```
-Or open the window with `iy` and choose **File → Data Sources**: every built-in collection
-(al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i, Ibn Maja, the Muwatta and three
-forty-hadith books) and the Taqrib import with one click — or **Import all** — in the
-languages you tick. You can add your own files or links there too, and move the data
-folder anywhere you like.
+Importing takes a minute or two a book; the search index, the chains and the narrators are built as
+part of it. No network? See [Without the network](#without-the-network) below.

+## 📚 isnady-data — the data

-Importing takes a minute or two; the search index and the chains are built as part of it.
+- **Full names, never a bare one.** Every folder and every id is the book's full title with its
+  compiler's name — `musnad_ahmad_ibn_hanbal`, `al_kafi_al_kulayni`,
+  `taqrib_al_tahdhib_ibn_hajar_al_asqalani`. isnady imports by these ids, and names its exports and
+  saved computations after them.
+- **One format for every book** (`isnady-book/1`): a `book.json` with each hadith's number, place,
+  chapter, other numberings and every grade as `[scholar, grade]`, exactly as written; and one file
+  per language with the chapter titles and the texts. The formats are described in the
+  [isnady-data README](https://github.com/bayramkotan/isnady-data#-the-formats).
+- **Sunni and Shia apart.** Every book says its tradition, and isnady keeps them on their own roads
+  (below).
+- **Your own data stays yours.** What you import from your own files is never written into a
+  ready database for isnady-data: it does not leave your computer.
+### Without the network
+isnady-data works the same from a folder on your computer — a `git clone`, a USB stick, a shared
+folder:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/bayramkotan/isnady-data ~/isnady-data
+iy repo add ~/isnady-data       # in the window: Data sources → A folder on this computer…
+iy catalog import --all
+```
-To identify the narrators in those chains, add Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib al-Tahdhib* — 8,824
-narrators with his verdict on each — from the [OpenITI](https://github.com/OpenITI) corpus:
+Or take **a whole ready database** — every book imported, every chain read, every narrator
+identified — from the [isnady-data Releases](https://github.com/bayramkotan/isnady-data/releases):
 ```bash
-iy import taqrib https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenITI/0875AH/master/data/0852IbnHajarCasqalani/0852IbnHajarCasqalani.TaqribTahdhib/0852IbnHajarCasqalani.TaqribTahdhib.JK000121-ara1.completed
-iy narrator الزهري
+iy database use ~/Downloads/isnady-db-<date>.zip   # in the window: Data folder → Use a ready database…
 ```
+isnady checks the file (the zip must hold `isnady.db`, the schema must be one it reads, the sha256
+must match the `database.json` beside it), puts it in place at the next start and keeps your
+previous database beside it (`isnady.<date-time>.bak.db`). Nothing is deleted.

+### 👤 Who each narrator is
+Every name in a chain is matched to a narrator of its own tradition's rijal work — the *Taqrib*
+for a Sunni book, al-Najashi for a Shia book. A name is linked only when the evidence leaves one
+person: the words of the name, the book marks (a narrator in al-Bukhari must be one Ibn Hajar marks
+خ), the order of generations along the chain, the last link before the Prophet being a Companion,
+and — in al-Kafi — al-Kulayni's own teachers at the head of his chains. When several narrators
+remain — "Sufyan" can be al-Thawri or Ibn 'Uyayna — the chain says so and names how many, rather
+than choosing one. In blind, hand-checked samples of the identified names, the last fifty were all
+correct. Names are kept exactly as written, with the clarifications the compilers added
+(*"— yaʿnī Ibn Muḥammad —"*).

+## 🕌 Sunni and Shia: two roads
-The scholars whose work is in the imported data, and what the data measures of it:
-**compilers** (their collection, the teachers their chains begin with, the Companions they end
-with), **graders** (how they grade, and how far they agree with each other on the same hadith —
-agreement, Cohen's kappa, and a strictness index: the classical *mutashaddid* / *mutasahil*,
-measured), and **critics** of narrators (Ibn Hajar's twelve ranks). On Sunan Abi Dawud, for
-example, Zubair 'Ali Za'i grades most strictly (−0.21) and agrees with al-Albani on 70% of the
-hadith; the page also flags a pair of graders whose 98% agreement suggests the source did not keep
-them independent.
+Sunni and Shia meet on the same pages — one search, one Narrators page, one shelf of books — and
+every Shia narrator and book carries a gold **Shia** tag. They meet without being mixed: every value
+isnady derives is reached along the road of the book's own tradition.
+| | Road A — Sunni books | Road B — Shia books |
+|---|---|---|
+| How a chain opens | a transmission term on every link (حدثنا، أخبرنا، عن …) | al-Kulayni names his teacher without a term (علي بن إبراهيم عن أبيه …) |
+| Groups and joined roads | two narrators at one link (qiran) | "عدة من أصحابنا" — al-Kulayni's groups, shown with the teachers he said they stand for; "… جميعاً عن …", two roads joined; "رفعه"; "عن رجل"; "عنه" |
+| Where it ends | the Prophet ﷺ | one of the Fourteen Ma'sumun: the Prophet ﷺ or an Imam, most often by his kunya — أبو عبد الله is Ja'far al-Sadiq, أبو جعفر al-Baqir, أبو الحسن al-Kazim or al-Rida; "سألته" is *mudmar* |
+| Who identifies its narrators | Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib al-Tahdhib* | only the Shia rijal works: al-Najashi's *Rijal* (al-Tusi's next) |
+| How a narrator is judged | Ibn Hajar's twelve ranks | the Imami critics' own terms — **reliability** (*thiqa*; praised — *jalil*, *wajh*, *'ayn*; weak) and **creed** (Imami, or Waqifi, Fathi, Zaydi, *'ammi* …): an Imami *thiqa*, a praised narrator (*mamduh*), a *thiqa* of another school (*muwaththaq*), a weak one |
+| Whose grades | al-Albani, Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut, Zubair 'Ali Za'i … | al-Majlisi (*Mir'at al-'Uqul*), al-Behbudi (*Sahih al-Kafi*) … |
+Nothing is mapped onto the other tradition's measure, and a narrator of one tradition is never a
+candidate for a link of the other's chains. Read this way, **96.8%** of al-Kafi's 14,239 chains
+split into their narrators (9 did when they were read the Sunni way), **92%** reach a Ma'sum, and
+half of their 61,160 names are identified in al-Najashi's *Rijal* (3 were before).

-### 👤 Who each narrator is
-With Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib al-Tahdhib* imported, every name in a chain is matched to a
-narrator, and the chain shows what Ibn Hajar says of him: his verdict in his own words, its
-rank on Ibn Hajar's twelve-step scale, the narrator's *tabaqa* (generation) and his death
-year.
-A name is linked only when the evidence leaves one person: the words of the name, the book
-marks (a narrator in al-Bukhari must be one Ibn Hajar marks خ), the order of generations
-along the chain, and the last link before the Prophet being a Companion. When several
-narrators remain — "Sufyan" can be al-Thawri or Ibn 'Uyayna — the chain says so and names
-how many, rather than choosing one. Today about half of all names are identified; in blind,
-hand-checked samples of the identified ones, the last fifty were all correct.
-Names are kept exactly as written, with the clarifications the compilers added
-(*"— yaʿnī Ibn Muḥammad —"*, *"mawlā Ibn ʿAbbās"*), because identifying each narrator is
-a separate step that comes next.

-## 📚 Data and licences
-isnady reads open formats and keeps the source of everything:
+### Your data folder
-- **Supported now:** the [fawazahmed0/hadith-api](https://github.com/fawazahmed0/hadith-api)
-  JSON format, from a file or a URL, with or without authentication (username and
-  password, bearer token, or API key; credentials are never stored).
-- **Rijal:** Ibn Hajar's *Taqrib al-Tahdhib* in OpenITI mARkdown — each narrator's name,
-  kunya, verdict, rank, tabaqa, death year and book marks, read by the rules Ibn Hajar sets
-  out in his own introduction. The OpenITI release does not state its licence in the
-  repository, so it is kept as tier C (used on your computer, never redistributed) until
-  it is confirmed.
-- **Coming:** CSV, SQL/SQLite, OpenITI mARkdown, REST APIs and Shamela, so any collection
-  you have can be brought in.
+Everything isnady keeps is in one folder — `iy datadir` shows it, `iy datadir /elsewhere` moves it,
+and a folder named `isnady-data` beside a portable application is used instead:
-Every source records a licence **tier**: **A** may be redistributed, **B** may be
-redistributed under its conditions, **C** may not. Sources you add yourself stay on your
-computer. **Help → Licences** lists every source in your database with its licence.
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `isnady.db` | the database: books, texts, grades, chains, narrators (SQLite) |
+| `derived/*.json` | statistics and models, computed once and kept |

 ## ⌨️ CLI
-Everything the window does also works without it — on a server, over SSH, or in a
-script. The command line never loads Qt.

 ## 🗺️ Roadmap
-- **Narrators** — the other half of the names identified through teachers and students
-  (al-Mizzi's *Tahdhib al-Kamal*), the verdicts of other critics beside Ibn Hajar's, and
-  whether each link could have met the next.
-- **Hadith scholars** — their lives in full, and more scholars as more collections and grades
-  are imported.
-- **Shia rijal** — narrator verdicts from the Shia rijal works, beside the Sunni view.
-- **Learn** — the sciences of hadith, shown on real hadith and real chains.
-- **More sources and formats** — and adding your own from inside the window.
-- **Glossary** — every Arabic term of hadith and the Islamic sciences explained where it
-  appears: hover or click a term, read its meaning in the interface language.
+- **Shia narrators, further** — al-Tusi's *Rijal* and *Fihrist* and al-Kashshi's reports; names
+  resolved by teacher and student; the Shia books' statistics by the Imami scholars' grades, and a
+  Sunni–Shia comparison.
+- **More in isnady-data** — al-Tusi's *Tahdhib al-Ahkam* and *al-Istibsar*, al-Saduq's *Man la
+  yahduruhu al-faqih*; al-Hakim's *Mustadrak*, al-Bayhaqi's *Sunan*, the *Mu'jam*s.
+- **Narrators** — the other half of the names identified through teachers and students (al-Mizzi's
+  *Tahdhib al-Kamal*), the verdicts of other critics beside Ibn Hajar's, and whether each link could
+  have met the next; fuller, richer lives of narrators and scholars.
+- **Statistics in plain words** — every finding said simply first, the method after.
+- **Settings and export** — every setting in one place, export in every common format (named by the
+  books' full names), reset and remove from inside the window.
+- **Twenty interface languages.**
 - **isnady.net** — the same engine on the web.
