Sababu zile zile zilizosababisha Taqlid pia ziliwafanya wanazuoni wafungue shughuli zao za ubunifu kwa kuhariri na kurekebisha kazi zilizotangulia tu. Vitabu vya Fiqh vya wanazuoni wa zamani vilifupishwa na vifupisho vyake vikatengenezwa. Baadaye, vifupisho hivyo vilipunguzwa tena ili viwe rahisi kukariri, na mengi yao yaliwekwa katika mashairi. Mchakato huu wa kufupisha uliendelea hadi muhtasari uliotokana nao ukawa kama mafumbo halisi kwa wanafunzi wa wakati huo. Kizazi kilichofuata cha wanazuoni kilianza kuandika maelezo ya muhtasari na mashairi hayo. Baadaye, wanazuoni wengine waliandika sharti juu ya maelezo hayo, na wengine wakaongeza maelezo ya pembezoni kwenye sharti hizo.

The same factors which led to Taqleed also caused scholars to confine their creative activity to merely editing and revising previous works. The Fiqh books of earlier scholars were condensed and abridgements of them were made. These abridgements were later shortened in order to make them easy to memorize, and many of them were actually put to rhyme. This process of condensing continued until the summaries, which resulted, became virtual ridles to the students of the day. The following generation of scholars began to write explanations of the summaries and poems. Later scholars wrote commentaries on the explanations and others added footnotes to the commentaries.
