guidance of the populace. <br /> <br /> <br /> <p class="MsoNormal">Hadhrat Muhaddith-e-Deccan spent his life serving the Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).<span style=""> </span>He recorded various Hadith in his books, told many Hadith in his sermons, most of all Zujajatul Masabeeh is such a wonderful achievement of his that the masters of the field have acknowledged this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Zujajatul Masabeeh is such a boundless ocean that everyone brings forth pearls from it as per his own capability.<span style=""> </span>Zujajatul Masabeeh is a favor on the whole Ummah.<span style=""> </span>As such, he is the “Muhaddith Al Azam” of the whole Islamic world.<span style=""> </span>However, as his residence is in

have admired unreservedly.<span style=""> </span>Thus, the famous scholar of Herat, Hadhrat Maulana Abu Nasr Muhammad Azam Barnabadi Harawi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) received Zujajatul Masabeeh, he wrote a letter to Hadhrat Muhaddith-e-Deccan (May Allah shower His mercy on him) and expressed his views thus:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Translation: <span style=""> </span>I received 3 copies of the 3rd volume of Zujajatul Masabeeh after the first 2, which you had sent to me out of kindness.<span style=""> </span>On receiving them, this humble being praised and thanked Allah Ta’ala.<span style=""> </span>The 2 volumes of Zuajajatul Masabeeh cooled my eyes and the 3rd volume is proving to be the illumination of my bosom.<span style=""> </span>This is in fact a compendium of the most Sahih (rigorously-authentic) Hadith.<span style=""> </span>I am feeling that I have acquired a boundless ocean, which is enough for me.<span style=""> </span>This book is a clear proof for the Hanafi.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The famous scholar of the Arab world, Hadhrat Maulana Abdul Fattah Abul Ghuddah (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has written about Zujajatul Masabeeh:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Translation: <span style=""> </span>Allah Ta’ala did me a great favor by enabling me to perform the Haj this year and with His benevolence has let me benefit from those ni’mah, which depend on this great article of appearing at the House of Allah Ta’ala.<span style=""> </span>Among these extremely valuable ni’mah was that I received the 1st volume of Zujajatul Masabeeh, which has been authored by your excellency, through which my sight and wisdom have both been illuminated.<span style=""> </span>I have thanked Allah Ta’ala for this priceless ni’mah that he has granted you.<span style=""> </span>May Allah Ta’ala give you a great reward on behalf of Muslims and on behalf of the Hanafis.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Hadhrat Maulana Abul Afghani (May Allah shower His mercy on him), the founder of Ihya Al Ma’arif An Nomaniya, says:</p> <p
