Among the books of the Sunnah are those authored by other groups of scholars. This includes works by al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, such as al-Umm, and works by jurists who came after him regarding the rulings of the pure Shari'ah. Among the best works in this regard are the writings of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, and his student, the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him.
