as salaamu alaykum all,

does anyone have any resources for the refutation of the orientalist critique of hadeeth?

I have come across Joshua Little's critique of hadeeth with his "21 reasons" to doubt the whole hadith corpus, as well as his PhD declaring the hadeeth of A'isha radiAllahu ta'ala anha's age to be weak.

Is there anything in refutation of this?

barakAllahu feek

Mohar Ali has couple of books tackling orientalists (like Watt, Muir, Margoliouth, Noldeke et al). One on critique of Qur'an and other 2 volumes on Sirat un-Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

You can find both these on archive.org

There's also Mustafa Azami's book "On Schacht's Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence".

None of the above are specifically on refutation of orientalist critique of hadith, but are useful reference on typical orientalist approach/agenda.
