This research is verification and examination of a book titled Kanzul- Saadaah Fi Kalimat Ash-Shahadah by Shihabud-Din Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Mansour Al-Ashmoni, who died in 809 H. 1407 A. D. The significance of the book lies in five issue as follows: - The author of this book used to read Sunnah Scriptures in the sessions delivered by Al-Hafiz Al-Iraqi, from whom all Hadith narrators took the chain of authorities on the narrations related by him during the eighth Hijra century, including Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani , who is considered the most famous among all narrators from the eighth century until now. - This book is the only tradition left by this honorable scholar, and to Which none of the biography books has given fair attention? His Biography was only mentioned curtly, in few lines, by biographers, despite his great scholastic and sophisticated status. - This book stands alone among all what have been compiled about the word of Shahaadah (bearing witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad (pbuh) is the Messenger of Allah). It examines the word of Shahaadah on three levels: the word level, the structure level and the connotation level. I know of no book, which is equivalent for this book. - This book is unique from all what have been compiled in the same area For three issues: the choice of its scientific material, the method it is Distributed and the way it is displayed. - This book contains scientific additions, which I did not find in any other book. Thanks to Allah, the Al-Mighty, this research was concluded by compiling this valuable book, and verifying its benefits according the known principles of verification. It also presented an introduction of its author which is considered the most comprehensive until now, and which is based on different miscellaneous information about him. This different miscellaneous information about the author were scattered in different printed and scripted books. This is in addition to a pilot study, which introduces the book and demonstrates its scientific value.
