+
```python
|
| 244 |
+
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
|
| 245 |
+
import json
|
| 246 |
+
|
| 247 |
+
# Download a collection

## 💡 Usage Examples
|
| 288 |
+
|
| 289 |
+
### Example 1: Semantic Search
|
| 290 |
+
|
| 291 |
+
```python
|
| 292 |
+
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
|
| 293 |
+
|
| 294 |
+
# Load model
|
| 295 |
+
model = SentenceTransformer('BAAI/bge-m3')
|
| 296 |
+
|
| 297 |
+
# Embed query
|
| 298 |
+
query = "ما حكم صلاة الجماعة؟"
|
| 299 |
+
query_embedding = model.encode(query)
|
| 300 |
+
|
| 301 |
+
# Search in collection (requires vector DB like Qdrant)
|
| 302 |
+
# See: https://github.com/Kandil7/Athar
|
| 303 |
+
```
|
| 304 |
+
|
| 305 |
+
### Example 2: Faceted Search
|
| 306 |
+
|
| 307 |
+
```python
|
| 308 |
+
# Filter by era and collection
|
| 309 |
+
classical_passages = [
|
| 310 |
+
p for p in passages
|
| 311 |
+
if 200 <= p.get('author_death', 0) <= 500 # Classical era
|
| 312 |
+
and p.get('collection') == 'fiqh_passages'
|
| 313 |
+
]
|
| 314 |
+
|
| 315 |
+
# Filter by author
|
| 316 |
+
bukhari_hadith = [
|
| 317 |
+
p for p in hadith_passages
|
| 318 |
+
if 'Bukhari' in p.get('author', '')
|
| 319 |
+
]
|
| 320 |
+
```
|
| 321 |
+
|
| 322 |
+
### Example 3: Citation-Enhanced QA
|
| 323 |
+
|
| 324 |
+
```python
|
| 325 |
+
# Build a RAG pipeline
|
| 326 |
+
from Athar import FiqhAgent
|
| 327 |
+
|
| 328 |
+
agent = FiqhAgent()
|
| 329 |
+
result = await agent.execute(
|
| 330 |
+
query="ما حكم صلاة الجماعة؟",
|
| 331 |
+
filters={"era": "classical"},
|
| 332 |
+
hierarchical=True
|
| 333 |
+
)
|
| 334 |
+
|
| 335 |
+
# Result includes rich citations:
|
| 336 |
+
print(result.citations[0].source)
|
| 337 |
+
# "Imam Bukhari - Sahih al-Bukhari, Chapter of Prayer"
|
| 338 |
+
print(result.citations[0].metadata['hadith_grade'])
|
| 339 |
+
# "sahih"
