The paths in mentioning the survivor from the sects and the perished

Authorship / Yahya ibn Al-Husayn This book from the last what he authored Al-Ghazali رحمه الله in the science of Usul Al-Fiqh, rather perhaps the last one, so it represents the summary of the science of Al-Ghazali in the issues of Usul, and whatever found contrary in his other books is considered abandoned, and does not represent his statement, and perhaps this is the meaning he intended by naming his book with this name. And this book is distinguished by two main features: the logical arrangement of its chapters and issues, and thorough investigation, as it followed the method of scholars and investigators, so it was not in imitation. This book has occupied its distinguished position in the studies of Usul, and scholars have taken it as a lesson and research, and it became one of the four pillars of the science of Usul as Ibn Khaldun mentioned in his introduction, and it also indicates its importance that scholars memorized it by heart, such as Al-Razi and Al-Amidi, and Al-Razi summarized it in "Al-Mahsul" and Al-Amidi in "Al-Ihkam".
