Therefore, he ensured that the comments were concise as much as possible. He presented an introduction that covered two sections: The first section: about the biographical translation of the poet Imam ibn al-Jazari, which was fully transferred and commented upon — for increased benefit and completeness — from a manuscript book that was not published, titled: "Clarification of the healing in what is in the Cure regarding the biography of the Prophet ﷺ then the caliphs" by Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Tayyib al-Fasi. The second section included a brief introduction to the poem, covering: the naming, confirming its attribution to ibn al-Jazari, the place and time of its composition, the number of its verses, its meter, and mentioning some of its virtues. This collection has many virtues, including: • The noble subject related to visiting the best of prophets and messengers, may blessings and peace be upon him. • The scholarly status of its author. • The rhetorical insights and literary touches. • Ibn al-Jazari’s preferences in some scientific matters.
