مطلب الناسك في علم المناسك

While the works of Manasik and Hajj are many, most focus on masa’il and ahkam.
This work, by Allamah Torpushti (d.661ah) (Turibishti in Arabic) is unique as:

-It is a really early work.
-The author focusses more the actions and awrad to be carried out in each place, with special focus on the etiquettes and adab to be considered.
- The book is filled with ahadith, narrated with their asanid.
- Fiqhi ikhtilaf are discussed with utmost respect, with the dalil of each side presented, followed by the author sometimes showing one seems preferable to him and why
- It is filled with fawaid, many you probably wouldn’t find elsewhere. Anyone who has used his sharh on al-Masabih, would know the amazing insight he has and his ability to explain a difficult concept or reconcile seemingly contradictory adillah.
- This book combines Quran, Hadith, Fiqh and Tasawwuf.
- It is filled with discussions into the madhahib of fuqaha, munaqasha, questions and answers, as well as lughawi and tarikhi fawaid.

Inspite of the great value of this book, you hardly find any quotes from it in earlier works, as the manuscripts of it seemed to have been really scarce. It is a really rare work, with just two known manuscripts of it in all the manuscript catalogues we have available!

Printed recently for the first time, this is a beautiful, mulawwan edition, edited under the supervision of Mf Abdullah Nana, printed in one a thick volume, nearly 1000 pages!
