Was "Al-Rawd al-Nadhir" your first book?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Hawini: But was "Al-Rawd al-Nadhir" actually your first book?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed; this was my first book.
Al-Hawini: Your first book.
The Shaykh : Because what I copied from "Al-Mughni" and commented on is not called my first book.
Al-Hawini: Shaykh, how was the method of "Al-Rawd" organized according to the fiqh chapters?
The Shaykh : No, my method in it was that I collected the hadiths of every Companion under his name, like the Musnads.
Al-Hawini: Like the Musnads, yes.
The Shaykh : But I added to the customary practice in the Musnads that I arranged the hadiths of each Companion in alphabetical order, and here it took on a new character. Then, after finishing it, I combined all the hadiths with one another and gave them a general format based on the letters. This is the arrangement.
