Research aim: Participation in reviving the Islamic heritage on Fundamentals of Jurisprudence by investigating a valuable manuscript, and presenting it to the respected reader. Research methodology: The investigation relied on two manuscripts by comparing between them, based on the text chosen for the primary copy, and relying on the other copy for the text understanding and correction, so that the text will be correctly produced as intended by its author, although with the mention of the difference between the two copies in the footnote. Research findings: The authenticity of the book’s ascription to its author, and his wide knowledge of the literature of his Ḥanafī co-scholars, and his accuracy in what he transmits from them, although with critique and rejoinder in some places. Recommendations: Giving attention to the investigation of manuscripts of Islamic heritage, most especially those authored on a particular field or a particular issue, because it contains scholarly focus and explanations that may not be easily found in the books that are comprehensive on all issues and chapters.
