Al-Hâ'iyah has always had a high place and has been held in high esteem by People of the Sunnah and the Group, in all times. Shaykh 'Abd Ar-Razzâq ibn 'Abd Al-Muhsin al-'Abbâd al-Badr said in the introduction to his explanation:

“A brilliant and excellent poem, which is well known and esteemed, well worded, easy to remember, it occupies a great place and is held in high esteem by people of science past and present. It is reported in a mutawâtir manner from Ibn Abî Dâwûd. May Allah have mercy on him, and many men of science report it from him, such as Al Ajurî, Ibn Battah, Ibn Shâhîn, as well as others. And these last three were among the author's students. Many men of science have explained it... This is a great poem which clarifies the true belief upon which the People of the Sunnah and the Group stood. It shows the greatness of its author, the generosity of his knowledge, his good belief and his sincere advice. ".
