Ash-Shifa by Qadi Ayyad: Defining the Rights of the Chosen One

A book on the noble characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad, written by al-Qadi Iyad, and considered one of the finest books introducing the Prophet Muhammad. Scholars have said of it: «Were it not for al-Shifa, the Chosen One would not have been known», and some scholars of Mauritania customarily read it in their gatherings during the month of Rabi' al-Awwal

Its author divided it into four parts: the first on honoring the Prophet's status in word and deed; the second on the rights he holds over God's servants; the third on what is impossible for him, what is permissible, what is precluded and what is valid; and the fourth on how rulings apply to whoever disparages or insults him
