Badhl al-Majhud fi Hall Sunan Abi Dawud (Arabic: بذل المجهود في حل سنن أبي داود) is a detailed arabic commentary on Sunan Abu Dawood, authored by Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri. Widely acclaimed as the foremost work of its kind, it is esteemed by Islamic scholars worldwide. Completed over a decade in Medina, this book is an indispensable resource for those seeking to understand the nuances of Sunan Abu Dawood.[1] In addition to providing clarification on Sunan Abu Dawood, Saharanpuri's commentary scrutinizes and analyzes narrations and traditions from other hadith books, making it an invaluable reference work. Saharanpuri's commentary is characterized by impartiality and balance, presenting both sides of controversial issues with clarity and objectivity. The author supports his arguments with evidence, without showing any bias towards either perspective, making it a fair and comprehensive analysis of Sunan Abu Dawood and related traditions.

Initially, Saharanpuri completed the commentary in five volumes, after which he dictated it to his student Zakariyya Kandhlawi due to his advancing age and tremors. Kandhlawi subsequently published a revised edition spanning 20 volumes, which has been hailed as a seminal contribution to Islamic scholarship.[2][3]
