In the field of hadith, Sulayman presented detailed commentaries on foundational collections and primers. His pedagogical exposition in Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari examines the legal rulings, theological aspects, and moral admonitions derived from the traditions collected by al-Bukhari. He also delivered Sharh al-Bayquniyya, an introductory commentary explaining technical classifications in hadith methodology based on the classical didactic poem of al-Bayquni.

In jurisprudence and legal methodology, Sulayman's instruction addresses both legal theory (usul al-fiqh) and applied law. In Hanbali jurisprudence, he provided explanatory annotations in al-Ta'liq 'ala al-'Uddah Sharh al-'Umdah, which clarifies the terminology, scriptural evidences, and school positions discussed in the classical work of Baha' al-Din al-Maqdisi.
