Only a single installment of it was printed, and the notes stop at the end of Kitāb al-Ṣiyām (the Book of Fasting) (1) from Fiqh al-Sunnah. Accordingly, the commentary covers about one quarter of the work. The book’s second edition appeared in 1409 AH, and the Shaykh—may Allah cool his resting place—lived for more than ten years thereafter. He had resolved to carry the task through to the end of the book (2), but I do not know whether he managed to complete any portion of it. Allah knows best.

The nucleus of this book was two lectures the Shaykh delivered in the summer of 1932 CE at his home in Yarmouk Camp, Damascus. They were transcribed from an audio recording, after which Shaykh Muḥammad ʿĪd al-ʿAbbāsī edited the text, added some useful material, and traced the Qurʾānic verses and a number of hadiths.
Shaykh Nāṣir—may Allah have mercy on him—then handed him a handwritten treatise entitled “Al-Tawassul” (3), composed long before as one installment in the series “Tasdīd al-Iṣābah,” mentioned earlier. Al-ʿAbbāsī combined that treatise with the two lectures and fused the material into a single work. He then submitted the reworked manuscript to Shaykh Nāṣir, who refined and polished it, and the present book is the result.
