Athmar al-Hidayah ‘ala al-Hidayah (Vol 14) اثمار الهداية على الهداية

Athmar al-Hidayah ‘ala al-Hidayah is a detailed Urdu commentary by Maulana Thamiruddin Qasmi on the celebrated Hanafi fiqh text Al-Hidayah. This volume covers the section from Kitab al-Jinayat to Bab Ghasb al-'abd, presenting the discussions of al-Hidayah in clear and accessible Urdu while expanding significantly on its legal discussions.

A distinctive feature of this commentary is its strong emphasis on evidences and legal reasoning. For each ruling discussed in al-Hidayah, the author attempts to provide multiple supporting proofs, often citing three hadiths with their complete references, along with relevant evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah. In many cases, he offers several explanatory angles—often up to four—to clarify the legal ruling and its application, while also presenting rational proofs where appropriate.

The work further clarifies difficult terms and technical expressions, highlights the underlying legal maxims (usul and qawa‘id) connected to the rulings, and enhances the student’s understanding of Hanafi legal methodology. Where Shafi‘i positions are discussed, the author refers directly to Kitab al-Umm by Imam al-Shafi‘i, citing both the legal opinion and the hadith evidence presented there. This makes the work especially valuable for advanced students and scholars seeking a deeper comparative and evidentiary study of Hanafi fiqh.
