المختصر القدوري

The Mukhtaṣar al-Quduri is one of the most celebrated and influential treatises in any Muslim school of methodology and thought and is the foundation for the Ḥanafi school. It is both the first source for scholars and a manual for the general reader.
Its judgements, based on divine revelation, trace back directly through men of the highest calibre, such as al-jassas and Abu Hanifah, may Allah have mercy on them, to 'Abdullah ibn Masud (rad) and other great Companions and thence to Muhammad (saw) the Final Messenger of Allah.
