notes that the Hanafis believe that the time of Maghrib ends with the disappearance of twilight, which they refer to as the whiteness of the horizon, whereas the Shafis refer to the redness. Saharanpuri presents both opinions without criticism or bias. Features Some features of Badhl Al-Majhud Fi Hall Abi Dawud are: Most of the topics are derived from the discourses of advanced scholars, but the explanations and clarifications of "Qala Abu Dawud" are the author's own thoughts and reflections because scholars did not pay much attention to this discussion. A detailed description of every narrator is written when they are first mentioned and later only referred to. The Hanafi school of thought has been presented in a suitable manner, and the hadiths have been scrutinized. If the hadith is in accordance with their school of thought, then it is accepted, otherwise their sources are mentioned, and the hadith is analyzed in detail. If a hadith is unclear at a certain place, its clarification is given. The authors of Al-Iaya and Aun al-Ma'bood have been identified wherever there are ambiguities so that readers are saved from misunderstanding. If the narrations that Imam Abu Dawud has mentioned briefly have been explained in detail somewhere, then they are referenced as "M" in the book. The opinions of the Mujtahids, especially the Imams of the four schools of thought, are included, referencing the Al-Shawkani method. The author has collected the narrations that he has written as Mursal or Mualaq and included them in the book. Most of the work of Badhl Al-Majhud Fi Hall Abi Dawud, guided by the teachings of Rashid Ahmad Gangohi, has been included in the explanation. Reception Yahya Naqshbandi writes about the style of explanation in the book Badhl Al-Majhud Fi Hall Abi Dawud. He notes that during the time this book was written, the scientific taste of the region was generally inclined towards jurisprudence and fundamental topics. However, Badhl Al-Majhud presents discussions in both the style of jurisprudence and hadith, which is a unique feature of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi's work.
