Features of this Book include: - Compiling authentic sayings of remembrances and supplications with comprehensive coverage. - The book contains many benefits covering diverse topics, including subtleties, warnings, and issues of great need, along with pointing out the weakness of some famous remembrances, and mentioning some widespread violations. - All Hadiths and sayings are graded, with mention of the most authentic scholars who verified or weakened them, arranged according to the most likely ruling on the Hadith, and in agreement among scholars based on their deaths. - Similar rulings are grouped together. - Explanation of strange words in the footnotes. The book also includes weakening some famous Hadiths according to the Hadith sciences, clarifying that if some Hadiths differ in their authenticity among scholars, and if a trustworthy scholar has authenticated and acted upon one of them, it is not to be rejected; as ruling on Hadiths is a matter of scholarly opinion. If a Hadith is unanimously weak or mostly weakened, and its authenticators are known for laxity, it should not be acted upon. Weak Hadiths, even if some scholars act upon them in virtues of good deeds, are generally not to be relied upon in this book, because: - The authentic (sahih) hadiths suffice over the weak. - There is no difference in acting upon Hadiths regarding rulings and virtues; all are Sharia. - Acting upon a weak Hadith makes its authenticity established, which contradicts the principle that rulings are not established by weak Hadiths. - Neglecting this can lead to innovations and superstitions. This book is a well-organized, precise, and comprehensive compilation, easy to handle due to its inclusiveness and numerous benefits.
