Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the best commentary on the book al-Umdah? And what is the best book specifically on the special characteristics of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
In the book al-Khasa'is by al-Suyuti, there are the special characteristics of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); this is the one I know of, and there are others, but they do not come to my mind right now. As for the best book on the commentary of al-Umdah, I do not know; I have not covered the commentaries, and I do not know. But this commentary that is in our hands, if it is completed, then in my opinion it is one of the best commentaries, as you will find, if Allah wills, during your reading of it. Yes.
