Nihayat al-Matlab fi Dirayat al-Madhhab (Arabic: نهاية المطلب في دراية المذهب) or The End of the Quest in the Knowledge of the Shafi'i School is one of the earliest Shafi'i fiqh books written by Imam al-Haramayn al-Juwayni the leading Shafi'i jurist of his time.[1] It is said to be the largest work done in the Shafi'i school with a massive collection of over 21 volumes. Considered his magnum opus, which Ibn Asakir said had no precedent in Islam. It served as a major reference for all the later scholars after the 5th century of hijri.[2][3]
