It also includes a rare poem of his that makes this book unique. Among others, it features the biography of Sheikh Ibrahim bin Doyan (d. 1353 AH), and other rare biographies. At the end of the book, there is an important letter by the author titled "The Concise Statement on the Best of the Creatures," in which the author translated his hometown poet Muhammad bin Ghanim (d. 1335 AH), whose news had become scarce, making this valuable part a revival of his stories. This edition was carefully prepared by Dar Al-Nafaes and the Manuscripts Department in Buraidah, with commentary by the virtuous Sheikh Ali bin Saleh Al-Suhaiman, and concluded with a series of technical indices revealing the information contained in the book.
