Introduction Umdah al-Ahkam (عمدة الأحكام), meaning "The Mainstay of Rulings," is a celebrated collection of hadiths compiled by the renowned Hanbali scholar Imam Abul-Faraj Abd al-Rahman ibn Ismail al-Maqdisi, also known as Imam Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (d. 682 AH/1283 CE). Unlike longer compilations such as Sahih al-Bukhari or Muslim, Umdah al-Ahkam extracts only the authentic hadiths that form the basis of Islamic legal rulings (Ahkam), focusing on worship (Ibadat) and transactions (Mu'amalat). It is typically divided into volumes covering purification, prayer, zakah, fasting, pilgrimage, marriage, trade, and criminal law. Umdah Al-ahkam Vol. 3 Hadith No. 460
