al-Mughni

Ibn Qudama al-Maqdisi's commentary on al-Khiraqi's Mukhtasar, his most famous commentary ¹. It stood in nine large volumes in its author's hand; most copies circulating in Ibn Badran's time ran to thirteen volumes ¹.

The author writes out the question from al-Khiraqi's Mukhtasar as the chapter's heading, then explains it and shows what it evidences; then mentions what resembles it that is not in the text; shows where there is disagreement and consensus; records each imam's position; and attributes reports to the hadith scholars' books ¹. Ibn Muflih said the book is eloquent in the madhhab, and that by it the madhhab was gathered ².
