Kitāb Ash-Shifāʾ bi-Taʿrīf Ḥuqūq al-Muṣṭafā (The Healing by the Recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One) by Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ is perhaps the most widely read and most extensively commented-upon handbook on the life of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. It offers a detailed account of his noble qualities, character, and miracles.

This revered work has long been admired across the Muslim world and provides readers with a profound appreciation of the Messenger’s ﷺ true stature. Ash-Shifāʾ gathers everything necessary to recognize the rights due to the Prophet ﷺ — with the love, reverence, and respect befitting him. It also outlines the rulings concerning anyone who fails to uphold his status or dares to belittle his exalted rank — even to the extent of a mere fingernail clipping.
