Ibn al-Atheer was one of the outstanding scholars of Mosul, as he excelled in language, hadith and jurisprudence, striking the arts of culture with a plentiful arrow, leaving an abundant product that attests to his culture and breadth of knowledge.
His culture was clearly evident in the hadith lesson, especially in his three compilations: The End in Gharib al-Hadith, al-Athar, Collector of Usul in the Messengers hadiths, and Manal al-Taleb in An Explanation Throughout the Oddities, which is the subject of our research.
Ibn al-Atheer published his book Manal Al-Talib in Explaining Twal Al-Ghariba with an introduction in which he demonstrated his method, explaining that this book was written after the Book of the End.
