The questioner : What are the books and topics that can be read regarding the noble Prophetic Sunnah...?
The Shaykh : The books written on the Sunnah have different specializations. Some are written on rulings, and the most concise and accessible of them is the book "Bulugh al-Maram min Ahadith al-Ahkam" by al-Hafiz Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. It has commentaries, and the easiest and most accessible of those commentaries is "Subul al-Salam Sharh Bulugh al-Maram" "Subul al-Salam" by the scholar, researcher, and muhaqqiq Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Mar'i. It also has another commentary by Shaykh Muhammad Sadiq Hasan Khan, who was the king of a district in India known as... He was Muhammad Sadiq Hasan Khan, the king of... He followed the Salafi methodology, and his book is better than the previous one because it came later, and some matters differed in it. The previous one, despite its merit, was written by an author who was previously affiliated with the Zaydi school, and some of its effects remain clearly evident in its commentary... As for Sadiq Khan, he grew up in a Sunni environment, and then he followed the path of the Book and the Sunnah, that is, the way of the righteous Salaf. Then there are books that are broader than that. For example, the book "Al-Muntaqa min Akhbar al-Mustafa" by the grandfather of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). It has commentaries, but only the commentary by Imam al-Shawkani, Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani, has been printed, which is called "Nail al-Awtar fi Sharh Muntaka al-Akhbar". This is with regard to the jurisprudence of hadith and the hadiths of rulings.
