Hadith scholars have always focused on indexing the prophetic traditions, with lexicons being essentially a catalogue of these sayings. Their approach involved organizing the hadiths based on the first letter of each saying. One of the most famous works is Al-Suyuti's 'Al-Jami' Al-Saghir'. Despite the significant benefits provided by these indexes, finding a specific hadith remains challenging. This is because a saying can be recounted in different forms, researchers might forget the beginning, or they might not remember it accurately, making it difficult to locate.
