Ithâf al-Kirâm commentary by Bulûgh al-Marâm min Adillat al-Ahkâm

We owe Ithâf al-Kirâm to Safiyy ar-Rahmân al-Mubârafûrî (1941-2006) who is one of the most eminent scholars of hadith in India. He is the author of several books including: al-Misbâh al-Munîr fî tahdhîb tafsîr Ibn Kathîr , Minnat al-Mun'im fî sharh Sahîh Muslim , and ar-Rahîq al-Makhtûm .

In his commentary on Bulûgh al-Marâm , Safiyy ar-Rahmân al-Mubârafûrî relied on both ancient and modern works. He also brought his personal touch by going, when necessary, against the exegesis given by the scholars of yesteryear or today. He also took care to simplify and make accessible the meaning of the hadith retained by Imam Ibn Hajar. He finally added biographical notes where he provided information on the Companions and the Followers who transmitted the hadîth as well as on other men or women mentioned in the various hadîth .
