Question:
I hope you will guide us to concise and simplified books on the science of hadith, jurisprudence, and creed. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Among the concise books on creed are the book "Tawhid" by the Shaykh of Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him), "The Three Fundamental Principles," and "Clarification of Doubts." These are concise books of great benefit. Also included are "The Middle Creed" by the Shaykh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, "The Tadmuriyyah" by him as well, and "The Hamawiyyah" by him as well. All of these are great and beneficial books. Also included are "The Spark of Faith" by al-Muqaffi Ibn Qudamah, and "The Tahawiyyah" by al-Tahawi, which has a great and beneficial commentary by Ibn Abi al-'Izz. He pointed out some errors and clarified the speech of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
These are great books on creed. Also included are the book "Tawhid" by Ibn Khuzaymah, which is also a great and beneficial book, the book "Al-Sunnah" by 'Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, which is a great book, and "The Refutation of Bashr al-Murrisi" by 'Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Darimi. These are also beneficial and great books on creed.
In hadith: "Bulugh al-Maram" is a good and concise book, and "Umdat al-Hadith" by the Shaykh 'Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi is also concise and good. One should memorize these two books along with "The Forty Nawawi" and its completion by Ibn Rajab. He collected fifty hadiths from the concise words of the Prophet, which are important. Memorizing them is also important and beneficial.
If a man has high and noble ambition, then "Al-Muntaqa" is a great book. If it is feasible to memorize it, it is a great and beneficial book.
