Book Review: Tamaam-ul-Minnah bi-Sharh Usool-us-Sunnah


Tamaam-ul-Minnah bi-Sharh Usool-us-Sunnah
By al-Haafith al-Humaydee
Explained by ash-Shaykh ‘Abdullah ‘Abdir-Raheem al-Bukhaaree
Printed by Daar-ul-Istiqaamah
Pages: 96

This is an excellent explanation of Aboo Bakr al-Haafith ‘Abdullah bin az-Zubayr bin ‘Eeesaa al-Qurashee al-Humaydee al-Makkee he was the Muhaddith of Makkah who died in the year 219 A.H. Imaam al-Bukhaaree used to narrate from him in his Saheeh as well as Imaam Muslim, may Allah have mercy upon them both. It was said of him, "al-Humaydee was the Mufti of the People of Makkah and their Muhaddith, he was to the people of al-Hijaaz concerning the Sunnah what Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal was to the people of al-'Iraaq.”

It is the product of ash-Shaykh ‘Abdullah ‘Abdir-Raheem al-Bukhaaree assistant professor of Hadeeth in the College of Hadeeth in the Islamic University of Madeenah. He explained this text over a span of a month via telephone. After the recording it was transcribed and prepared for print.

This is the first printing and unfortunately it has a lot of typos in the ‘Iraab and a lot of mistakes in the Quranic verses. Other than this deficiency the book is very beneficial and a must have for everyone who seeks knowledge. Included within this explanation is a background of the text a small biography of the author and a bit by bit elucidation of the text. The text itself is presented at the beginning of the book for those who want to memorize it.
