In his Hashiyat al-Fusul al-lu’lu’iyya, Ahmad b. 'Abdallah writes a commentary on the work of Sarim al-Din al-Wazir (d.

We focus here on the first section of his chapter on analogy (qiyas). For the sake of clarity, we first present the base text as written in al-Fusul. We have translated the base text as closely to the Arabic as possible; however we have re-arranged sentences and inserted material as needed in order to make the passage more readable in English. Thereafter we present the commentary, referring to the base text as needed, as done by Ahmad b. 'Abdallah. In lieu of translating the commentary directly, we have opted to summarise and provide additional detail where needed, to provide the reader substantive clarity.
