Perhaps Imam al Quduri's most famous works, Al Mukhtasar is also known as al Kitab. The number of issues it addresses is 12,500, spanning the entire spectrum of Fiqh, for the book covers not only matters of worship, but also business transactions, personal relations and penal and judicial matters. Abu Ali al-Shashi said about the book, "Whoever memorises this book, is the best accomplished of our associates in memorisation and whoever understands it, is best accomplished of our associates in understanding."
As is common with fiqh summary texts, the book generally does not mae a point of providing evidences and derivations of the regulations. The bases and reasoning behind the verdicts presented can be pursued in more advanced books of madhab, and also require some knowledge of usul-al-fiqh.
This is a simple explanatory English translation of Mukhtasar al-Quduri
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.
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.
