"Matn Safinat al-Naja" and "Safinat al-Salat" are two concise books based on the Shafi'i school of thought. They do not mention prophetic hadiths but rather summarize matters of creed and worship. Some weak jurisprudential choices are attributed to them. They are suitable for those who wish to learn jurisprudence according to the Shafi'i school, with an emphasis on prioritizing the Sunnah over human opinions. The issues of creed within them are few and limited to the pillars of Islam and faith, and the meaning of the two testimonies, without extensive detail that reflects the true beliefs of the authors.
