Al-Shifa bi Ta'rif Huquq al-Mustafa

Al-Shifa bi Ta'rif Huquq al-Mustafa, (, The Remedy by the Recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One [Muhammad]), of Qadi Ayyad (d. 544H / 1149CE) is perhaps the most frequently used and commented upon handbook in which Muhammad's life, his qualities and his miracles are described in every detail. Generally known by its short title, ash-Shifa or al-Shifa (The Healing), this work was so highly admired throughout the Muslim world that it soon acquired a sanctity of its own, for it is said, "If al-Shifa is found in a house, this house will not suffer any harm... when a sick person reads it or it is recited to him, Allah will restore his health."

Ash-Shifa remains one of the most commentated books of Islam after the Sahih's of Muhammad al-Bukhari and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. Commentaries and partial explanations written on al-Shifa include:
