Hardcover. Condition: New. 9971 pages in Arabic. 17 volume set. This book is regarded as one of the most renowned explanatory texts of al-Muwatta' magna opus of Malik b. Anas al-Asbahi al-Madani, the pre-eminent Imam of Madinah. Indeed, this elucidation is regarded as offering the broadest treatment to the highest standard with the richest detail, and as such is the most acclaimed commentary on the text. The author unveiled complex gems hitherto neglected by jurists, having unlocked and unravelled their mysteries, through insightful thought and incisive mind. Not only is al-Tamhid one of the greatest texts on comparative jurisprudence (fiqh) in all its doctrinal schools, but also a book on Prophetic traditions (hadith), the science of grading narrators (al-jarh wa al-ta'dil), history and biographies.

The reader of al-Tamhid will no doubt find an indispensable scientific encyclopaedia, and attest to its premier place among texts on Islam.

He spent a large part of his life gathering the content for al-Tamhid, preparing its chapters and studies, and referring to hundreds of sources in the areas of jurisprudence, prophetic tradition, language, history, and biographies.…
