About The Book
Shaykh Ibrahim al-Bajuri's commentary on al-Busiri's Burda is one of the most beloved and most-used commentaries on the most famous ode in Arabic-Islamic literature. The Burda — al-Kawakib al-Durriyya fi Madh Khayr al-Bariyya — was composed by Imam al-Busiri in the seventh Islamic century after the poet, partially paralysed, dreamed of the Prophet (peace be upon him) covering him with his cloak, and awoke healed. The 160-line ode in praise of the Prophet has been recited continuously in Sunni circles since al-Busiri's lifetime, and is the single most widely-circulated Arabic poem in the world. al-Bajuri's commentary, composed in the high Azhari tradition, brings to each line a precision of explanation, a richness of reference, and a deep devotional engagement.
Continuously published since al-Bajuri's lifetime and read across the Sunni world, the commentary is one of the foundational teaching companions to the Burda.

عن الكتاب
شرحُ الشيخ إبراهيم الباجوري على بُرْدَة البوصيري من أَشْهَر الشروح على أَشْهَر القصائد في تاريخ الأدب العربي الإسلامي. صنّف البوصيريُّ بُرْدَتَه "الكواكب الدريّة في مدح خير البريّة" في القرن السابع الهجري بعد أن رأى — وقد أصابه شَلَلٌ نِصْفي — النبيَّ ﷺ في المنام يَضَع رِداءَه عليه فاستيقظ معافى. تُتْلى البُرْدَة منذ عصر مؤلِّفها، وهي أوسع قصيدة عربية تَداوُلاً في العالم. وشرح الباجوري في تقليد الأزهر العريق يَجْمَع للقارئ دقّةَ البَيَان، وغِنى المراجع، وعُمْقَ الانخراط الوجداني.

About the author
Ibrahim al-Bajuri: Shaykh Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Bajuri rahimahullah (1198-1276 AH / 1784-1860 CE) was the Shaykh al-Islam and Grand Imam of al-Azhar in Cairo. He was born in the village of al-Bajur, a few hours from Cairo, from which his nisba derives. He lived in Giza during the French occupation and witnessed Napoleon's entry into Cairo. In 1216 AH / 1801 CE he returned to Cairo and began his formal studies at Masjid al-Azhar, where his vast learning quickly earned him recognition. He began teaching at al-Azhar in Sha'ban 1263 AH and served as Grand Shaykh from that year until his death in 1276 AH / 1860 CE. He was the foremost Shafi'i authority of his age, and his celebrated glosses include: Hashiyat al-Bajuri 'ala Sharh Ibn Qasim al-Ghazzi (Shafi'i fiqh), a commentary on Jawharat al-Tawhid (kalam), Hashiyat al-Bajuri 'ala Sharh al-'Aqa'id al-Nasafiyya (theology), and a commentary on the Burdat al-Busiri (literature). These works together represent one of the most important Azhari scholarly corpora of the late classical period.
