The incentive for the compilation of "Muḥtaṣar Ibn al-ẖijāb" included a number of matters: First, that no one before him (al-Jalāl) had organized it according to its importance and accuracy out of the many efforts of scholars towards it, such as annotation, explanation, and abstracting of its ḥadiṯs. Second: preservation. Al-Jalāl relied in his compilation of this difficult legislative summary on his accuracy in understanding it, the strength of his investigations' conception, the breadth of his imagination, and his knowledge of jurisprudential disagreement. He was not confined to his words, but he was bound by his organization, his investigations, his choices, and the craftsmanship of this indicated his ability to compose in a way that makes you admire his reproducing the original of what was dictated to him. The main concern of Jalāl was to make it easy for its memorizers, and to make it clear to his readership and listeners. So he chose Baẖr al-Razj for its pleasantness. He was unrestrained in a few of his investigations, lengthening some and being concise in others; He did not simplify and it is thus more beautiful.
