This article is devoted to the description of a new method of processing and analyzed medieval Arabic texts containing hadiths. During the research work a new method of processing and analyzing of Arabic texts containing hadiths on the basis of Microsoft Office Excel has been developed and used. The new method allows to significantly reduce time expenses for hadiths' data processing, to increase the volume of research material, promotes the simplification of work of the researcher with material, qualitatively to raise productivity of processing and the material analysis, to count up and deduce the statistical data on researched issues. The whole material of Kitab al-mahasin (11 books, 2604 hadiths) of Ahmad al-Barki one of the earliest Shiite authors from Qumm (died in 274/887 or 280/893) has been processed and analyzed by this method. The application of this new method by more researchers in Islamic and Arabic studies will help to work out jointly an interactive database - a program of processing and analysis of medieval hadiths' sources. This is the far-reaching goal of this new method.
