In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful All praise is due to Allah, and salutations and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of AllahTo proceed: This is a compendium of fiqh according to the school of the great Imam, Abu ?anifah (may Allah, the Exalted, have mercy upon him) which the legally responsible person cannot forgo if unable to study that which is more detailed. I have summarised it from the books of our scholars when I realised the necessity for such a brief text, I have named it 'The Gift for the Seeker' (It?af al-?alib). I ask Allah, glorified be He, to benefit by it all who desire to seek knowledge and teach it.
