A valuable reprint of the Dār al-Fatḥ edition of Tadhkirat al-Sāmiʿ wa’l-Mutakallim, the celebrated work on the etiquette, conduct, and responsibilities of teachers and students, authored by the renowned Ḥāfiẓ and Ḥadīth scholar, Imām Badr al-Dīn Ibn Jamāʿah رحمه الله.

This timeless classical text explores the noble manners that should characterise those who pursue and impart Islamic knowledge. It discusses the sincerity and intentions required of students of knowledge, the etiquettes of attending lessons, respecting teachers, organising one's time, and maintaining the qualities necessary for the acquisition and preservation of ʿIlm. It also outlines the responsibilities of teachers, emphasising sincerity, good character, compassion, and dedication to their students.

This edition is particularly noteworthy for its scholarly editing, having been prepared with reference to nine manuscripts, providing a valuable textual foundation for readers and researchers. This reprint of the Dār al-Fatḥ edition makes an important classical work accessible to a new generation of students of knowledge.

An essential addition to the library of every serious Ṭālib al-ʿIlm, teacher, and institution, this book serves as a lasting reminder that the pursuit of Islamic knowledge must be accompanied by sincerity, humility, discipline, and noble character.
