Imam Al-Qurtubi's book "At-Tadhkirah" is beneficial in its field. Al-Qurtubi intended it as a reminder for himself and a righteous deed, addressing death, the states of the deceased, the gathering (Hashr), the resurrection (Nashr), Paradise, Hellfire, tribulations (Fitnahs), and the Signs (of the Hour), conveying these from the books of the Imams. However, like any human endeavor, it is not free from shortcomings. The Imam may mention weak and fabricated hadiths alongside authentic and good ones. Therefore, it is recommended to read the book with verification or to inquire about any hadith whose understanding or narration poses difficulty.
