In this work his tremendous skill of research and collection are apparent that won the acclamation of his peers who recognized the great blessing of its production and subsequently praised him in their poems and writings. It has stood the test of time in which no one has surpassed this great work and the demand for copies still gain momentum and is now, Al Hamdulillah, available in the English and Indonesian languages.
Judge Eyad's reference contains some narrations that have been proved to be unauthentic. He made reference to this possibility in his writings saying that during his time there were insufficient scholars to rule upon the authenticity of some of the quotations, but he had no doubt that as time progressed and research became easier such quotations would be discovered and removed.
The current Muhaddith of Tangier, Morocco, Shaykh Habib Sayed Talidi, is that scholar blessed with the ability to research and authenticate these quotations and rule accordingly then delete the unauthentic from the reference and it is his edition we have relied upon for our translation.
Judge Eyad said of his book that, "we did not gather its presentation for a person who denies the rank of prophethood, or questions the miracles of Prophet Muhammad rather it is for those who are believers so that they might know their Prophet …… we wrote it for the believers in the faith of the Prophet who accepted his invitation to Allah and deeply believe in his prophethood so that their love is assured and their good deeds and faith increase."
However, Judge Eyad wrote a fourth unit to address and deal with hypocrites, and those who dare to insult the Prophet and his Companions. We have therefore produced that unit separately because no believer will enjoy it unless he is defending the prophethood as a nature of his work because he is not in need of it. If this is the case we welcome him to acquire our free edition of this unit. It is worth noting that at the end of the 3rd unit Judge Eyad himself concluded it with a supplication as an indication to the ending of the book for the believer. Therefore we are following in his vision of his authorship.
Supreme Judge Abdul Eyad’s
Introduction
The Imam, Hafiz, Abulfadl, may Allah be pleased with him, opens his great work of Prophet Muhammad's biography with an introduction saying:
Praise be to Allah who is alone in possessing His most splendid Name, and is the Owner of unconquerable might.
Praise be to Allah who is Unique having the highest Names, the Owner of tremendous might, having neither a beginning nor an end. He is apparent, not by imagination or guesswork. He is the hidden because of purity, not out of non-existence who has encompassed everything in His Mercy and Knowledge
Allah has sent an abundance of His Favor to those whom He guides (friends) and He sent to them
