Front and Back Covers: In very good and solid condition, the golden lines and text are clear and have not significantly faded.
Edges and Corners: Some minor signs of friction and light natural wear are visible at the lower corners of the binding (this is normal given the book's age).
Overall Condition Assessment: Very Good; the copy is clean and excellently preserved as an old used book, free from significant warping or tearing on the cover.
Third: Is the book rare?
Yes, it is classified as a "Scarce / Semi-Rare" book.
Reason: The book represents a special old endowment edition (non-commercial) printed and distributed in the 1980s under the supervision of Sheikh Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Ansari, may Allah have mercy on him. These old Qatari editions are characterized by the quality of the paper, the luxurious production, and the accuracy of verification, and they are no longer printed with this old endowment production; making them highly sought after by collectors of heritage books, students of Hadith science, and private libraries.
