This article evaluates the works in the field of hadith by the scholars of the Ibāḍiyya sect, which emerged in Basra as a branch of the Khārijites in the first century (A.H.) as an unknown field in Islamic sciences. Without any regional restriction, the works of hadith compiled by the Ibāḍīs from the 4th century to the present are discussed. In determining the hadith works, both the websites containing the pdfs of Ibādī works, and the general studies on Ibādī literature were scanned, and hadīth works were tried to be identified. As a result of this research, we found a small number of works. In order to access more works, a scholarly trip was made to Uman, and research was conducted for three months at the Faculty of Islamic Sciences in Muscat, the capital city, which contains the largest library of Sharia sciences. In order to see the Ibāḍī hadīth literature collectively, the study tries to introduce scientific book studies and academic theses and does not include articles, communique, dissertations and textbooks. Rather than giving detailed information about the works evaluated, it was sufficient to reflect the general content, and in some works, only imprint information was given. Thus, it tries to create a basis for new studies in this field. This study demonstrates that there has been a significant increase in the number of Ibāḍī hadīth works, which were very few in the previous periods, with the recent period. This increase was pioneered by the works of two prominent Ibāḍī scholars of the last period, Nūr al-Dīn al-Sālimī and Aṭfayyash, and academic studies have gained momentum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
