And after the initial age that came of the science of hadith, there came the scholars who detailed out the principles for verifying hadith that had been placed by the earlier scholars. And they clarified the principles by which one may determine the authentically established narrations of the Prophet ﷺ from those that are not authentically established. Many of exegesis were written on the Dala'il Khayrat - most notably by the scholar Yusuf an-Nabhani in his work Afdal al-Salawat, Mohammed al-Mahdi al-Fasi's Matali‘ Al Masarrat Bi Jalaa’ Dala’il Al Khayrat (مطالع المسرات بجلاء دلائل الخيرات) and Abd al-Majid al-Sharnubi al-Azhari's Sharh Dala'il Khayrat. A classic Ottoman era work by Kara Davud is popular in Turkish, titled Tevfîk-i Muvaffık il-Hayrât li-Neyl'il-berekât fî Hidmet-i Menbâ'üs-sa'adât ( Ottoman Turkish: توفیق موفق الحیرات لنیل البركات فی خدمة منباع السعادات), [3] in short known as "Kara Davud".

Manuscript of the Dala'il al-khayrat of al-Jazuli (Devotional Manual) | LACMA Collections". collections.lacma.org . Retrieved 2021-08-11.The Imam taught them that the sanctity of the Shaykh with his disciples was like the sanctity of the Prophet ﷺ with his companions. He also believed in adhering to spiritual masters, and taught that through them one receives illumination, mercy and secrets. He had many illustrious students who transmitted many narrations from him and his teachings on Sufism. Imam al-Jazuli would often tell his students to write down his words, as they were divinely inspired. He said, ‘My Lord said to me, “My slave, I have preferred you over my entire creation by the abundance of your prayers upon My Prophet ﷺ.” Indeed Allah and His angels confer blessings upon the Prophet, O believers! Confer blessings upon him and salute him with a worthy salutation” [33:56] The Chain of Transmission The Muhaddith of India and Sufi Master, Shah Waliullah Dehlawi praised Dalail al-Khayrat with the following words: One day Imam Jazuli intended to perform his ablutions from a well, but failed to find something with which to draw water from the well. A young girl saw him and wondered how this well-praised man could be confounded by this matter. She merely spit into the well, and the water flooded up. After finishing his ablutions he asked her how she had attained this station. She answered, “through constantly invoking blessings upon the one, who if he walked on the dry lands, the beasts would cling to him.” Tihis encounter impacted him greatly, and he swore that he would write a book of invocations of blessings upon the Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace. It has been related that Imam al-Jazuli was inspired to compose Dalail al-Khayrat when he encountered a young girl who attained her spiritual rank by invoking salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ.

The needy one Yusuf al-Nabhani, Allah forgive him, his parents and all those who pray for their forgiveness says: It is evident to me that Imam al-Jazuli (Allah be pleased with him) after his authoring the Dala’il al-Khayrat continued to review it. Each time it became clear to him that a word should be changed to another word he would do so, and this would be narrated from him by his students despite the earlier editions having spread with the earlier wording, and so on and so forth up to the time of his death (Allah be pleased with him). When we cannot compare these great works that the scholars engage in and weigh which one is better than the other. So the scholars of hadith served this Ummah by gathering the words that had emanated from the noble mouth of the Prophet ﷺ and they gathered them and collected them and spread them in the Ummah. He was killed on the 16th of Rabiul Awal in 870 Hijriah in the City of Sus as a result of being poisoned. His death was just at the time he was carrying out the dawn prayer prostration. After 77 years from his death, the body of Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaiman al-Jazuli was moved to the City of Marrakesh. According to testimony, his body was intact as it was when he was buried, not changed at all (Syekh Abdul Majid as-Syarnubi, Syarah Dalail al-Khairat, Cet. Maktabah Al-Adab, pp. 2-3).

He emphasised personal discipline and refinement of the ego. As a spiritual master, he required his students to adopt the patched cloak and staff. They were required to fast, practice solitary devotion and adhere to his methods of discipline. His aim was to transform his students into perfected saints.
