Published and distributed for the first time, fully verified. Introduction to the book: A well-known book among students of Shafi'i jurisprudence, and it is very widely circulated. Despite its brevity, it has many explanations and annotations by scholars, both printed and handwritten, and it has gained fame across the world. This text, which gained widespread reputation and benefited both the distant and the close, is distinguished by its clear style, with accuracy and verification in its issues. Therefore, it has gained acceptance and spread in most countries, and scholars have accepted it with submission and obedience. This prompted Dar Al-Minhaj to reprint it, with verification and scrutiny, distinguished by its quality and excellent presentation. It was checked against several manuscript copies as well as old printed editions. What sets Dar Al-Minhaj’s edition apart and makes it unique from others is that it added the continuation of the text, which is from the author’s own addition, may Allah have mercy on him, from "Al-Bay'" (sale) to "Al-Hiba" (gift). Additionally, it includes the addition of the scholar Ibn Hajar Al-Makki, may Allah have mercy on him, which is also printed for the first time, from "Al-Hiba" (gift) to "Al-Fara'id" (inheritance). Furthermore, references were made to the two annotations of the scholar Al-Kurdi and Al-Tirmisi, may Allah have mercy on them, in the form of some words. These annotations are of great scholarly value, explaining and clarifying the meanings of the "Hadrami Introduction." To maximize benefit, the center has carefully formatted the text with full diacritics and provided an extensive biography of the author. Thus, it comes as a gift between the two layers of verification and elegance. And as is customary, Dar Al-Minhaj decided to reprint the "Hadrami Introduction," combined with verification and scrutiny, decorated with the art of printing, so that it shines with features, sparkles in the sky of innovations, and boasts among its peers in quality and excellent presentation. All praise and thanks be to Allah.
