Athar Al Sunan With Hashiyya Nimawi

Details

Athar as-Sunan: Traditions of the Sunnah. The Book of Proofs For Purification and Prayer. 

In this classic work Allamah an-Nimawi
relates fiqh rulings, particularly those of the Hanafi madhhab, to their
source Hadiths, reviewing what the leading scholars have said about
their chains of transmission. Footnotes indicate the views of other
Hadith specialists on the authors assessment of each Prophetic
Tradition. Although an-Nimawi was only able to complete the sections on
ritual purity and prayer, the subject matter includes questions of
special concern today, including practices that have recently become a
source of controversy. For this reason, and because of its status as an
authoritative reference work, Athar as-Sunan should be studied by anyone
with a serious interest in Hanafi fiqh.
