Summary

هذا كتاب في الآداب العامة. لعدة أسباب، يعتقد المختصون أن هذا الكتاب ليس للغزالي وإنما لغيره وقد نسب إليه خطئا. فأسلوب الكتاب مغاير تماما لأسلوب الغزالي، وتبويب الكتاب عشوائي وكتابته فقيرة في استخدام الأدلة. كذلك، أغلب المصادر الموسوعية لم تنسب هذا الكتاب للغزالي. ومع ذلك، فإن اسم الغزالي مذكور على أحد مخطوطات هذا الكتاب كمؤلف للعمل. الكتاب يجمع أبواب متفرقة من الآداب مثل آداب المتعلم مع معلمه، وآداب الاستئذان، وآداب الولد مع والده وغير ذلك.

Summary

This book is on general social ethics. For different reasons, most specialists believe that this book is erroneously attributed to al-Ġazzālī, . Firstly, its writing style is remarkably different than al-Ġazzālī's. The book is also organized on a non-systematic scheme. Moreover, the text is poor in terms of using evidence for its claims, which is totally different than the writing style of al-Ġazzālī. Most of the biographical dictionaries opted out mentioning this book among the works of al-Ġazzālī. However, the name of al-Ġazzālī is mentioned as an author on one of the preserved manuscripts of t he work. The book includes a group of social ethics, such as the ethics of the student with his teacher, the son with his father, marriage, and many others.
