🏠 Quran Hadith Families Isnad Narrators

What is a chord diagram?
A chord diagram shows connections between groups arranged in a circle. Each arc on the outer ring is a category (a thematic family, a book, or a narrator). A ribbon connecting two arcs means those categories share something: the thicker the ribbon, the stronger the connection.

What does this tell you?
Family × Family reveals which Quranic themes co-occur in the same hadiths, e.g. how often prayer and purification appear together vs. trade and justice.
Book × Family shows what each book specialises in: only over-represented themes are shown, so you see what makes Bukhari different from Muslim or Abu Dawud.
Narrator × Book maps which narrators dominate which books, revealing the transmission network behind the hadith corpus.
