Description from the publisher:

Allah dispatched his Messenger Muhammad (pbuh) with guidance and the Religion of Truth. Thus he has conveyed the Message and discharged the duty he was entrusted with, and he has been a sincere advisor to the nation, and he has striven truthfully for the sake of Allah, up until that which was inevitable overtook him. So he left his nation upon a clear white path, its night being like its day, no one strays from it except that he is destroyed. He explained all those matters that his nation needed to know, to the extent that Aboo Dhar, may Allah be please with him, said, “The Prophet (pbuh) did not leave a single bird in the sky, that would flap its wings, except that he would mention to us some knowledge concerning it.” And no one of the mushriks said to Salmaan al-Faarsee, “Your Prophet even teaches you concerning the manners of relieving oneself!” So Salmaan said, “Yes he has forbidden us from facing the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, and he has forbidden us from cleaning ourselves with less than three stones, or with the right hand, or with dung balls or bone.” And Allah said in His glorious book, “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” Read, O seeker of truth, the pearls of guidance contained in this treatise by the noble Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen.
