Among the good versified texts in the science of Hadith are: Alfiyat al-Iraqi and Alfiyat al-Suyuti, and Tal’at al-Anwar by Abdullah al-Alawi al-Shinqiti.

Among the useful concise versified texts are: al-Bayquniyyah and Qasab al-Sukkar by al-San'ani.

There are also literary love poems (ghazali) about the titles of Hadith, such as the poem by Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Faraj al-Ishbili, which begins with: "My love is sound (sahih) and hope in you is difficult (mu'dal)," and the poem by Shaykh Abd al-Mu'ti, which begins with: "The hadith of my love is musnad and musalsal."
