In the 4th century AH, Sheikh Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi wrote a commentary on it, "Nur al-Fu'ada," which is a commentary on "Al-Murshida." In it, the author followed a path of brevity and simplicity, without comparing it to the opinions of scholars. He mentioned that he completed it in half a day, which explains its simplicity. However, this commentator erred in attributing "Al-Murshida." He mistakenly believed it was authored by Abu al-Layth Nasr ibn Muhammad al-Samarqandi (d. 373 AH). In the beginning of the commentary, he says: "The humble Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, may God treat him with His hidden kindness, says: This is a gentle commentary on "Murshidat al-I'tiqad" by Imam Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi, may God have mercy on him." This error is a reflection of the old doubt regarding the attribution of "Al-Murshida" to al-Mahdi, as seen by some Eastern scholars, as we saw earlier with al-Alai. As for the opponents and critics of "Al-Murshida," we find among them Saif al-Din Ahmad ibn al-Majd al-Maqdisi, who disparaged it, criticized it, and attributed ill fortune to it due to its corruption. Among what he said in that regard: "When I entered Jerusalem, and the Franks were there at that time, I found a school near the Haram, and the Franks were there, harming Muslims and doing terrible things. So I said, 'Glory be to God, what could have been in this school that it was afflicted like this?' Until I returned to Damascus, and it was told to me that Sheikh Fakhr al-Din ibn Asakir was teaching "Al-Murshida" there. So I said, 'Rather, they are the misguided ones.'" He mentioned that he wrote this commentary in 1143 AH. It is likely Abd al-Ghani ibn Ismail ibn Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, who died in 1342 AH. See his biography in: Al-Muradi, Salk al-Darr, vol. 3, p. 30 (Cairo edition, 1301 AH). A copy of it exists, 215 pages, manuscript in the General Library in Rabat, No. 19241. See: Al-Nabulsi, Nur al-Fu'ada. He is nicknamed Imam al-Huda, a Hanafi jurist, ascetic, and Sufi. He has many works in jurisprudence, hadith, and asceticism, including "Tafsir al-Qur'an," "Bustan al-Arifin," "Al-Zuhd," "Al-Muqaddimah" in jurisprudence, and a treatise on principles of religion. See his biography in: Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hayy al-Lakhnawi, Al-Fawa'id al-Bahiyyah, p. 220 (Cairo edition, 1324 AH). Al-Subki, Al-Tabaqat, vol. 5, pp. 69-70. Al-Nabulsi, Nur al-Fu'ada.
