"Fath al-Bari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari" (The Grant of the Creator: Commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari) is considered one of the most important compendiums in Islam. Scholars unanimously agree that no other work has equaled it in explaining the Hadiths of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The famous phrase "La hijrah ba'd al-fath" (There is no migration after the Conquest/Opening) has been famously applied to this book, implying that there is no need to write a new commentary after this masterpiece.
He is the prominent Imam and the "Commander of the Faithful in Hadith" (Amir al-Mu'minin) of his era.

This work is a comprehensive scientific encyclopedia, not merely a commentary on Hadiths. Its composition took over 25 years, beginning in 817 AH and concluding in 842 AH. Upon its completion, he held a grand banquet attended by the scholars and sultans of his time.
1. The Introduction (Hady al-Sari): Before beginning the commentary, Ibn Hajar wrote a massive introduction (usually printed as a separate volume) titled "Hady al-Sari Muqaddimah Fath al-Bari." It is considered the key to understanding Sahih al-Bukhari, containing:
A biography of Imam al-Bukhari.
Clarification of al-Bukhari's criteria in his Sahih.
The correct pronunciation of names, kunyas, and titles.
Responses to the criticisms raised by some Hafiz scholars against al-Bukhari (which are very few).
2. Ibn Hajar's Methodology in "Fath al-Bari": The book is distinguished by a unique methodology that made it the primary reference:
Reconciling Narrations: He gathers different chains/paths of the Hadith from within Sahih al-Bukhari itself or other books of Sunnah to clarify the meaning and complete any missing wording.
Explaining Chapter Headings (Tarajim): Ibn Hajar excels in decoding the "Chapter Headings of al-Bukhari," explaining the subtle relationship between the chapter title and the Hadith mentioned under it (known as the Fiqh of Bukhari).
Language and Grammar: He pays attention to the vocalization of words, explains strange/uncommon terms, and addresses grammatical analysis (I'rab) that affects the meaning.
Fiqh and Deduction of Rulings: He mentions the schools of thought of the jurists (especially the four major schools) regarding issues deduced from the Hadith. He weighs them with strong evidence and fairness, despite being a Shafi'i himself.
Science of Narrators (Rijal): He provides concise and useful biographies of the narrators in the chains of transmission.
3. Scientific Value of the Book:
It is considered the primary reference for anyone wishing to understand Sahih al-Bukhari.
It corrected many illusions/errors fallen into by previous commentators (such as Al-Kirmani and Ibn Battal).
It is characterized by moderation in creed and fairness in jurisprudence.
