Mukhtassar Al Quduri AM012

The Mukhtasar al-Quduri is one of the most celebrated and influential treatises in any Muslim school of methodology and thought and is the foundation for the Hanafi school. It is both the first source for scholars and a manual for the general reader.

This book is also known as Al-Kitab. It comprises approximately 12,500 issues, spanning the entire spectrum of fiqh, covering matters of worship, business transactions, personal relations and penal and judicial matters, etc.

Abu 'Ali al-Shashi said, 'Whoever memorizes this book is the best accomplished of our associates in memorization, and whoever understands it is the best accomplished of our associates in understanding.'

The book is recognized and respected as a reliable book of the Hanafi school and has had various commentaries written on it. Along with Muhammad ibn al-Hasan's Al-Jami' al-Saghir, it formed the nucleus of al-Marghinani's widely-renowned Al-Hidaya.

Up to this day, the book enjoys wide acclaim, still forming a part of the teaching curriculum in many traditional madaris, and with prominent and accomplished contemporary scholars continuing to recommend and approve it as a teaching text.

New critical edition in beautiful two colour print. Includes the hashish al-Mu'tasar al-Dururi by Shaykh Muhammad Sulayman al-Hindi.

About The Author

Al-Imām al-ʿAllāmah Abu ‘l-Ḥusayn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Al-Baghdādi al-Qudūri.

Al-Imām al-ʿAllāmah Abu ‘l-Ḥusayn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Baghdādi al-Qudūri. [He is more commonly known by his nisbah (surname), as Imam al-Qudūri.] Some say that his nisbah is ascribed to one of the outlying towns of Baghdad called Qudūrah. Others say that it is ascribed to his family profession, the selling of pots (which in Arabic are translated as qudūr).

He was born – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – in the year 362 A.H. He studied Fiqh from Abu ʿAbdillāh al-Faqīh Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Jurjāni. Among the jurists that learned Fiqh at his hands was Abu Naṣr Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Aqṭaʿ. The chief justice (qāḍī al-quḍāt) Abu ʿAbdillāh al-Dāmaghāni narrates ḥadīth from him, and so does al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādi. Imam al-Qudūri – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – distinguished himself in Fiqh due to his intelligence. He went on to become the leader of the Ḥanafi scholars in Iraq, and he rose amongst them in status and fame. He was well-spoken in his views, of a bold tongue and constant in reciting the Quran.

1. Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūri: This book is known within the Madhhab as “al-Kitāb.” It is a highly-esteemed matn that is in common use among the imāms and the leaders of the Madhhab. Its fame needs no mentioning. The author of Miṣbāḥu Anwār al-Adʿiyah writes: “The Ḥanafis would seek barakah by reading Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūri during times of epidemic, for it is a blessed book. Whoever memorizes it will be safe from poverty to the extent that it is said: whoever studies it under a righteous teacher, and supplicates upon its completion that he be showered with blessings, then he will become the owner of the number of dirhams equal to the number of legal cases (masā’il) the book covers – and according to the commentator of al-Majmaʿ, the book covers 12,000 legal cases. Numerous commentaries have been written on the book, among them, being al-Jawharah al-Nayyirah of al-Ḥaddādi and Zād al-Fuqahā’ of al-Isbaḥāni.
2.  Al-Tajrīd: This book appears in seven volumes. It discusses the points of difference between our scholars and al-Shāfiʿī – may Allah Most High have mercy on him. He began writing it in the year 405 A.H.
3. Al-Taqrīb: This book covers the points of difference between Abu Ḥanīfah and his students – may Allah Most High have mercy on them all – without including proofs. Then he authored a sequel, al-Taqrīb al-Thānī, in which he mentions the proofs.
4. Sharḥ Mukhtaṣar al–Karkhi, and many publications besides.

The Imam passed away – may Allah Most High have mercy on him – on Monday, the fifteenth of Rajab, year 428 A.H. He was buried soon after in his home on Abī Khalaf Lane. He was later moved to a cemetery on al-Manṣūr Street, and there he was laid to rest beside the Ḥanafi jurist Abu Bakr al-Khawārizmi.
