Despite the many abridgments of Ibn al-Salah's book, what distinguishes this selection, "Al-Muntakhab fi Ulum al-Hadith," by Ibn al-Turkumani is that its author was a hadith scholar, jurist, linguist, literary figure, legal theorist, and grammarian. He combined various arts that enabled him to select precious gems and exquisite rarities from Ibn al-Salah's book, crafting them into a work that is small in size, rich in knowledge, concise in wording, and easy to memorize, with phrasing that fully conveyed Ibn al-Salah's intent without compromise. What further confirms and enhances the importance of this selection is the statement of Al-Hafiz al-Iraqi about it: "It has perfectly fulfilled its purpose, and we know of no one who has equaled it in that."
