This edition includes the Arabic text, its translation, and notes drawn from its commentaries—especially Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Ba‘li’s Kashf al-Mukhaddarat.

About the Author :

Muhammad bin Badr al-Din bin 'Abd al-Haqq bin Balban al-Hanbali (d. 1083 / 1672) was a latter-generation Hanbali scholar. He was born in Damascus and spent most of his life there as a resident scholar teaching and training others. His biographers considered him to be a person of knowledge; he was always engaged in education and training. He was known for his knowledge of hadith and fiqh, including mastery of the four schools. Besides being an intellectual, he was a righteous worshipper who had little to do with the world, an ascetic.
