He authored *al-Targhīb wa al-Tarhīb*, whose fame spread to the horizons, and *al-Takmilah li-Wafayāt al-Nuqal*, which is a supplement to *Wafayāt al-Nuqal* by his teacher Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn al-Mufaḍḍal al-Maqdisī, who died in the year 611 AH, and who had brought his book up to the year 581 AH. The supplement that al-Mundhirī produced thus covered from that year up to the middle of the year 642 AH. He died in the year 656 AH.(1)

Secondly: The copy of Ibn al-Jawzī, designated by the symbol (B)

It is a photographed copy of one of the two original manuscripts preserved in the "Lālah Lī" library in Istanbul. What survives of it is the first part, from the beginning of the book to the chapter on what has been reported concerning the rights of neighbors, except for some leaves that fell out from the beginning of the chapters on sales to the beginning of the chapter on what has been reported that wheat is to be exchanged for wheat equal for equal.

It is a good, clear, and meticulous copy, written in a naskh script. Its margins are adorned with annotations that include corrections of errors that occurred during copying, as well as the recording of a number of words in which the copies differed, which indicates that it was collated with great precision. For this reason, errors in it are rare.

Its number of leaves is (315), excluding the title page, and the number of lines on each folio is (19) lines, with each line containing approximately (17) words.
