Taḥṣīl uṣul al-fiqh wa tafṣīl al-maqālāt fīhā ʿalā al-wajh is considered an abridged book of al-Samarqandī's Mizān al-uṣul fī natāʾij al-ʿuqul. Both are written with a purpose of showing Ḥanafī Māturidī perspectives towards Hanafi legal theory. The book states in the beginning that students of usul al-fiqh are required to be aware of the theological (kalāmī) background of legal principles. To achieve this objective, al-Nasafī (the same author of al-ʿAqāʾid al-nasafiyya, one of the most celebrated treatises in the history of kalam) decoded Ḥanafī legal theory through explaining the roots of legal principles and how Māturidī Hanafī differs from Muʿtazilī and Ahl al-Ḥadīth and those who follow them among Ḥanafīs in Iraq.
