Shaykh Al-Albani has rented the original book “Fiqh us-Sunnah”, saying: “Certainly, the book Fiqhus-Sunnah of Shaykh Sayid Saabiq is among the finest books written in his field, I met it by chance by its excellent organization, clear writing style and lack of complex expressions found in many books of Fiqh … “(Tamam al-Minna, p.10)

Shaykh Al-Albani mentioned problems in the book and they are many. Sayid Saabiq sometimes employed narratives or without weak narrations to prove his opinion, sometimes called the authentic narrations da’eef (weak), sometimes he made an analogy in the presence of authentic hadith, etc..

So Shaykh Al-Albani has reviewed the first parts of the book and made valuable comments and corrections. He was then sent to the author, with a encouragement to solve these problems in the next edition of his book, but as the Shaykh said “I was hoping that, but now my hope is lost because this man has re–edited his book in the same way blameworthy …” (Tamam al-Minna, p.6)

The shaykh then decided to meet his critics and corrections and print the book Tamaam al-Minnah after observing editions of Fiqhus-Sunnah for over 35 years without (Sayid Saabiq) retracts, except for a few mistakes the most obvious.

Shaykh Al-Albani has sent Sayid Saabiq his own handwritten manuscript of Tamaam al-Minnah (by making a copy for him) in 1373 and the book was published in 1409! May Allah reward the Shaykh for his generous advice, his patience and obvious love for Muslims
