Question: I maybe want to buy the book called Mishkat al masabeeh, i wonder what kind of book this is..Is the author a Hanafi(imam Tabreezi) and does the book have those hadeeths which the hanafees are using for prayer, wudu etc etc. Is the book with a commantary on each hadeeth? Can you recommend it?
