What is the status of the poem "Uqd al-Faraid" by Ibn 'Abd al-Qawi, and should a student of knowledge pay attention to it and memorize it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the status of the poem "Uqd al-Faraid" by the author Ibn 'Abd al-Qawi (may Allah have mercy on him)? Should a student of knowledge pay attention to it and memorize it? And does it have commentaries?

Answer:
Yes, he composed it in verse solely for the purpose of memorization. And he said this, as you heard: he composed it so that it would be memorized? The students of knowledge used to memorize it; the people of Najd used to memorize it. I know many people who memorize it, just as they memorize the text of al-Zad, they memorize al-Alfiyyah, they memorize al-Bulugh; they used to memorize it with the shaykhs. They memorize it on their own, and that is all, with the shaykhs who explain it to them. So memorizing it is good. As for its commentaries, a commentary on its abridged version exists: Sharh al-Safaran is a commentary on its abridged version. As for a commentary on the complete version, I do not know of a complete commentary for it. Yes.
