Sharh Burdat al-Madih: al-Anwar al-Mudiyyah fi Madh Khayr al-Bariyyah شرح بردة المنيح الأنوار المضية في مدح خير البرية

Sharh Burdat al-Madih: Al-Anwar al-Mudiyyah fi Madh Khayr al-Bariyyah (شرح بردة المديح: الأنوار المضية في مدح خير البرية) is a monumental critical edition (Tahqiq) of one of the most beloved works of Islamic devotional literature: Qasidat al-Burdah by Imam al-Busiri (d. 695 AH), together with its renowned classical commentaries.

This prestigious edition presents the Burdah text based on a highly authenticated manuscript containing documented Sama'at (scholarly transmission records), preserving the original wording, vowelization, and poetic structure. It also includes Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti's (d. 911 AH) celebrated commentary, Al-Anwar al-Mudiyyah fi Madh Khayr al-Bariyyah, critically edited from eleven manuscripts, along with the Hashiyah of Imam Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Dasuqi (d. 1230 AH), established from four manuscripts.

Drawing upon sixteen historical manuscripts in total, this edition offers exceptional textual accuracy by correcting scribal variations, restoring lost passages, and presenting these important works according to rigorous academic standards. Beyond its value as a scholarly reference, it preserves a masterpiece of Arabic poetry, Prophetic praise (Madh), rhetoric, and Islamic spiritual heritage.
