The generous opening of the Merciful in commenting on the good principles

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Praise be to Allah, who revealed the Qur'an and made it easy, and granted success to those He chose and enlightened them. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone, with no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His best prophet whom He sent. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions, who collected the Qur'an in their sound hearts and pure pages. As for what follows: Allah, the Most High, has made it easy for me and some of my companions and students to read the book "Beautiful Rules Related to the Interpretation of the Qur'an," and I would comment on whatever Allah willed for me to comment on. It became clear to me from the value of the book and the greatness of its content that it prompted me to record what I had commented on and to write down what I had gained. Then Allah granted me success, so I proceeded to explain and clarify it, and I commented on its sentences, and I deduced its issues, and I elaborated on the examples, to clarify the rule. I did not leave any word that needed clarification or any terminology that the knowledgeable would require. And Allah is the One whom I ask for acceptance; He is the best hope. I also ask Him to forgive me for the tyranny of the pen, and to grant us gratitude for His blessings. May Allah grant everyone great reward, and remove from us and them sins and burdens. All praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions. Abd al-Rahman bin Abd al-Aziz al-Dahami Al-Qassim - Al-Bukayriyah Introduction to the investigation In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Praise be to Allah, who guided us with His guidance, honored us with His remembrance, and ennobled us with His legislation. I pray and send peace upon Muhammad, His Prophet and His servant, whom He sent with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all other religions. As for what follows: Indeed, Allah has favored me with reading this sweet and desirable book: "Beautiful Rules in the Interpretation of the Qur'an," by the jurist of his time, the pearl of Egypt, the researcher, the scholar of his era, the ocean of understanding, the interpreter, the distinguished, the righteous, Imam al-Rabbani, al-Athwari (3), al-Aliyy (4): Abd al-Rahman bin Nasser al-Sa'di. May Allah send down on his grave showers of mercy, and place him in His vast gardens, along with his teachers and students, by His grace and generosity. And whoever contemplates this book will know what it contains of sciences and manners, for it is unique in its field, marvelous in its topics. It is truly the refuge, the shining lamp, the aid in understanding the aims of the book, and the exquisite taste of eloquent speech—words of Allah, the Generous, the Bestower. And my success is only by Allah; He is my Lord, there is no deity but Him. I rely on Him and turn to Him. And Allah has opened my chest to achieve its phrases and to correct its words. I seek refuge in Allah from my own power and strength, and I pray that He grants me a good ending, forgives me and my parents, all my teachers, and those who have the slightest favor upon me. I have lived with this blessed book for a period of time, studying its interpretations, and I was involved with language, unfamiliar words, and other things you will see, O wise reader, especially in our explanation of these comprehensive rules and beneficial principles. I ask Allah to benefit from it as He benefited from its origin. My reliance is only on Allah, and to Him I entrust and turn. I thank Him for His blessings, and I seek His protection from what I fear of His punishments. I cannot neglect here to express my gratitude and high appreciation to my noble sheikh and esteemed teacher, the linguistic scholar Professor Dr. Sulaiman bin Abdul Aziz al-Ayuni, may Allah preserve him, for his gracious review of this book’s investigation, and for correcting what needed correction; he enriched me with his valuable notes, guided me with his precious directions, and delighted me with his sound corrections. May Allah reward him with the best of rewards, bless his knowledge, work, and life, and increase him in His grace. Furthermore, the blessed scholar and researcher Dr. Khalid bin Othman al-Sabt was the pioneer in caring for this work, publishing, and investigating it. May Allah reward him abundantly and multiply his reward. He is deservedly the most distinguished and worthy of praise. And Allah grants abundant gifts to me and to him in the degrees of the Hereafter. How much I have benefited from his comments and corrections! Then I extend my sincere thanks to the noble brother, the generous descendant of the author, Mosaad bin Abd Allah al-Sa'di, who presented me with the manuscript. May Allah save him from the hardships of calamities. Thanks and praise are also due to my two noble brothers: Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin al-Sayyid al-Ghnam, and Abu Abd al-Rahman Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Namrisi, and everyone who contributed with comments, offered his guidance, and participated in printing and publishing the book. May Allah grant everyone great reward, and remove from us and them sins and burdens. Our last supplication is praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
