Despite his father's systematic guidance to him imitating Hanafi School of Thought and his strong warning against studying the science of Hadith, he became interested in the science of Hadith, therefore he learned the hadith at about twenty years of age, influenced by Al Manar Magazine founded by Muhammad Rashid Rida. Though he was largely self-taught, he transcribed and commented on Abd al-Rahim ibn al-Husain al-'Iraqi's "Al-Mughnee 'an-hamlil-Asfar fil-Asfar fee takhrej maa fil-lhyaa min al-Akhbar". He followed this writing a series of lectures and books, as well as publishing articles in "Al-Manar" magazine. That work was the beginning of Albani's scholarly career, and for this book he became known in the scholarly circles of Damascus, and library allocated him a special room to carry out his research, and gave him a duplicate key of the library. After a while, he began teaching two lessons per week about doctrine, Fiqh and Hadith Science; his lessons were attended by students and university professors; and he also began organizing advocacy trips to various cities of Syria and Jordan. Then, he obtained a leave from Muhammad Rabegh Al Tabakh, to profess Hadith in Islamic University of Madinah from 1381 until 1383 AH, and then he returned to Damascus to complete his studies; and his work in the library, where he left his place for one of his brothers.
