This book contains a Haashiyah of al-‘Allamaah, ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-‘Azeez bin Maani’ (rahimahullah) with Ta’leeq by ash-Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz (rahimahullah) on the classical text al-‘Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah authored by al-Imaam, al-‘Allaamah, Aboo Ja’far Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sallaamah at-Tahaawee, al-Azdee, al-Misree (rahimahullah). This edition was printed by Adhwaa-us-Salaf in Riyaadh and supervised by Aboo Muhammad Ashraf bin ‘Abdil-Maqsood. It begins with an introduction by Aboo Muhammad and then gives a brief biography of ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Maani’ and Shaykh Bin Baaz. The book then gives a very beneficial introduction by ash-Shaykh Muhammad where he explains the significance of this classical work and a brief bio about the author.
After this the text is presented along with ash-Shaykh Muhammad’s Haashiyah and ash-Shaykh Bin Baaz’s Ta’leeq. This book is not a Sharh which would be an explanation of the entire text. To clarify a Haashiyah is a note of benefit that is placed below a particular text that is commented upon. So Shaykh Muhammad added notes regarding certain sections that needed clarification or to provide a point of benefit. He always brings evidences from the Book, the Sunnah, and the statements of the scholars to these notes.
Shaykh Bin Baaz’s Ta’leeq is to further clarify any issues contained in the text so for example regarding al-Imaam at-Tahaawee’s statement about Imaan, then Shaykh Bin Baaz adds a note to clarify the issue. The book also contains Haamish which is a side note writen to the left or the right of a text. It appears that the Hawaamish belong to Aboo Muhammad and are written in small bold type next to the Matn.
The book ends with a fairly decent index to look up the points. It is not a big book at around 84 pages you can complete it within a week or so. Although you may want to review the notes to ensure you grasped the points presented.
This is also a great book to accompany the Sharh written by al-‘Allaamah Ibn al-‘Izz (rahimahullah). I have included the link to the English translation for further reference. Salafi Publications also has a good translation of the text and some notes translated by Shaykh Fawzaan (hafithahullah) for those who want to further their side-by-side studies.
