The announcement of rebuke for those who criticized the people of history

Author: Al-Hafiz Al-Mu'akkir Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Sakhawi (died: 902 AH) Editing: Salem Ghatir Salem Al-Dhafiri Binding: Fine Volumes: One Paper: Shamooh Size: 17×24 Overview: This research aims to introduce a historical book with a rare subject and diverse scientific material through which the historian Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Sakhawi intended to respond scientifically, supported by historical and religious evidence and literary examples in prose and poetry, to those who criticized and belittled history and historians alike. It discusses the concept of history: linguistically and terminologically, and points to the importance and value of history throughout ages, and the purpose of categorizing its books, elaborating on its many benefits for scholars, rulers, and others from the general public, as historical books contain texts and opinions that affect everyone in their worldly and spiritual lives, in addition to countless sources that benefit researchers and authors in various human sciences. The book is a clear example of the status of pioneering historians and their diverse knowledge, as Al-Sakhawi is a figure of history, jurisprudence, and hadith. He enriched the historical library with many of his writings, some of which we mentioned when introducing him.
