Muniyah as-Sajid bi Sharh Bidayah al-'Abid wa Kifayah az-Zahid

This is a contemporary explanation of a short book, well-known among the Hanbali students, which is "Bidayat al-'Abid wa Kifayat al-Zahid" by the eminent scholar Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman al-Ba'li, the author of "Kashf al-Mukhadarat". Two Hanbali scholars and professors in the field wrote a commentary on the book in this voluminous work titled "Munyat al-Sajid bi Sharh Bidayat al-'Abid wa Kifayat al-Zahid".

In their commentary, the two authors relied mainly on two works of al-Buhuti: “Kashf al-Qina'” and “Sharh al-Muntaha”, in addition to incorporating selections from the writings of Ibn Taymiyyah and some contemporary scholars like Ibn al-'Uthaymeen and others. The book is a refined explanation filled with primary sources: each page features one or two lines from the original text followed by detailed commentary relying on Quran and Sunnah, along with the statements of scholars.
