An-Nukat 'ala al-'Umdah fi al-Ahkam - Imam Az-Zarkashi (794H)

Imam Badr al-Din al-Zarkashi (d. 794H), an erudite Shafi'i scholar, provides concise and insightful annotations in his Al-Nukat 'ala al-'Umdah fi al-Ahkam, commenting on the foundational Hadith collection 'Umdat al-Ahkam by Imam 'Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi (d. 600H). These "Nukat" consist of short, pertinent notes focusing primarily on clarifying the meanings of the Hadiths concerning legal rulings, extracting subtle jurisprudential points, and offering brief elucidations. 

The Dar Qurtubah edition is particularly valued for its careful verification by Abu Qutaybah Nadhar Muhammad al-Faryabi, who also provides useful complementary footnotes, and it features a preface by Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Sa'd, further enhancing its scholarly presentation.
