Description edit

The author extracts linguistic, aqidah, and fiqh benefits from the ahadith and connecting the narrations to other verses, ahadith, and statements of the scholars, Imam al-Munawi's explanation is distinctive in that it organises the ahadith in alphabetical order. This collection, which is frequently referenced, is drawn from well-known hadith literature.[5] The author reconciles the seemingly different hadiths and brings them together. He also grades the hadiths by scanning the narrators through his knowledge in Ilm al-rijal and criticizes it by pointing out weak or fabricated narrations.[6]
