Abstract
This paper aims at shedding light on one of the books of commentaries on the Hadith, namely Minhat ul-Bari bi Sharhi Saheeh il-Bukhari (The Gift of God in Explaining Sahih al- Bukhari) and exploring the rhetorical aspects employed by the commentator in his book regarding the three types of metaphor: the conceit, implicit and explicit metaphor. The paper also tries to compare his views with his predecessors and followers and to show his rhetorical points of strength.
