Commentary on the poem Al-Ha'iyah - Ibn Badis

Al-Hâ’iyah has always had a high place and has been held in high esteem by Sunnah and the Group, at any time. Shaykh ‘Abd Ar-Razzâq ibn ‘Abd Al-Muhsin al-‘Abbâd al-Badr said in the introduction of his explanation:

"A brilliant and excellent poem, which is very known and estimated, well formulated, easy to memorize, it occupies a great place and is held in high esteem by people of past and present science. It is reported mutawaitously from Ibn Abî Dâwûd. May Allah make mercy to him, and many men of science bring him back, such as Al Ajurrī, Ibn Battah, Ibn Shâhîn, and others. And these last three were among the students of the author. Many men of science explained it... This is a great poem that clarifies the true belief on which the Sunnah and the Group were. He shows the greatness of his author, the wideness of his science, his good belief and his sincere advice. "
