al-Ta'liq al-Mughni 'ala al-Daraqutni

Al-Ta'liq al-Mughni 'ala al-Daraqutni ("The Sufficient Notes on al-Daraqutni") is the set of notes by Abu al-Tayyib Muhammad Shams al-Haqq al-'Azimabadi on the Sunan of al-Daraqutni. ¹ He says he wrote them while reading the book, confining himself to criticising some of its hadiths, explaining their defects and clarifying some points briefly, drawing on the books of the discipline. ¹

He prefaced them with an introduction in three chapters: al-Daraqutni's life; the transmitters of the Sunan and the differences among its copies; and his own chain to it. ^{2 3}

In the biography he quotes al-Nawawi that al-Daraqutni's corrections of the two Sahihs rest on some hadith scholars' very weak rules, contrary to the majority — and, on the other side, rejects al-'Ayni's remark in al-Binaya that al-Daraqutni "deserves to be weakened" as discourteous, since 'Abd al-Ghani of Egypt, al-Hakim, Abu al-Tayyib al-Tabari, al-Khatib, al-Sam'ani, Ibn al-Athir, al-Dhahabi and al-Nawawi all declared him reliable and praised him. ^{2 4}
