Machine summary:

And Imam al-Mazari, one of the great Maliki jurists, dictated a commentary on it and named it: 'Al-Mu'allim bi-Fawa'id Muslim', which included the finest aspects of the science of Hadith and various branches of Fiqh. This is supported by what Ubayd Allah ibn Abshun al-Afari al-Andalusi—one of the Imam's senior students—narrated, saying: I heard Abu Abdullah al-Mazari in Mahdia saying—while his book "Al-Mu'allim" was being mentioned—: "I did not intend to author it; the reason was that Sahih Muslim was read to me (1) in the month of Ramadan, so I spoke notes on it. 4- "Nazm al-Fawa'id fi 'Ilm al-'Aqa'id" (Arrangement of Benefits in the Science of Creeds), which is one of the Imam's most sublime compositions, as he poured into it what Allah Almighty had bestowed upon him of abundant and vast knowledge, and precise insight into beliefs and their principles; however, we have not come across any mention of a copy of it in the libraries we know. 5- "Amali 'ala al-Ahadith" (Dictations on the Hadiths) which Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Juzaqi, who died in 388 AH, collected from the Musnad of Imam Muslim al-Qushayri; it serves as a commentary on those parts that were obscure. From the compositions we will mention to you regarding various arts, its high status and firm footing in them will become clear to you, including: 7- "Al-Kashf wa al-Inba' 'ala al-Mutarjam bi al-Ihya" (Disclosure and Information regarding the Commented [work] of al-Ihya), which is a critique and correction of the fabricated Hadiths found in the book "Ihya' Ulum al-Din" by al-Ghazali.
