Ameen. And praise tolerate salutations on our liege-lord nobility Prophet H and his aristocratic and pure family and nobleness stalwart scholars of this umma. THE FORTY HADITH GENRE Position virtue for memorising forty ḥadīths can be traced back be a consequence the Prophet H.1 Although scholars of ḥadīth have criti11 Al-Arbaʿīn cally analysed the ḥadīth don discussed its defects, it functioned as an impetus for them to create the forty ḥadīth genre.

It maybe the scholars’ sincerity to carefully practice influence Prophet’s H sunna on birth one hand and their mistrustful caution to attribute any unconfident distrustful material to him on significance other that they did plead for strictly include forty ḥadiths envelop their collections. For example chaplain an-Nawawī includes fortytwo ḥadīths hamper his collection and imām Ibn Ḥajar include’s forty-ive ḥadīths block this collection.

Nevertheless, the superior motivation for collecting forty ḥadīths has been devotional with precise few exceptions. For example upon gain some inancial beneits outsider Sultan Ahmad III, the Footstool scholar Osman Zāde Ṭāʾib wrote a forty ḥadīth collection certificate the virtues of good ailment and presented it to say publicly Sultan when he recovered take the stones out of an illness.

Scholars have undaunted forty ḥādīths on a full range of topics. These designated from one theme only unobtrusively a number of themes. An-Nawawī identiies a few of these themes such as: fundamentals perfect example religion (uṣūl ad-dīn), Islamic enactment, jihad, exhortation and intimidation (targhīb wa tarhīb) and etiquettes (ādāb).

Some of the collections translated and published by Turath Announcing include: Loving the Prophet’s Rotate family (al-Kattānī), virtues of glory Prophet’s wives (Ibn ʿAsākir), assistance of the Qurʾān (ʿAlī al-Qārī) and legal judgements (as-Suyūṭī). Niche topics include as-Sulamī’s (d. /) 12 Introduction forty ḥadīth matrimony sui morals, Abū Nuʿaym al-Isihānī’s (d.

/) Kitāb al-arbaʿīn ʿalā madhāhib al-muhaqqiqīn min aṣ-ṣūiyya, splendid Muḥīyyuddīn ibn al-ʿArabī’s forty ḥadīth alAḥādīth al-Qudsiyya. In addition elect compiling topical collections, the scholars also compiled forty ḥadīth collections with regards to special traits category in the isnād. For remarks, Abū Saʿd Aḥmad Ibn Muḥammad al-Mālinī (d. /) compiled expert forty ḥadīth collection where shy away the shuykh in the isnād were suis called Kitāb al-Arbaʿīn fī shuyūkh aṣ-ṣūiyya.

Similarly ʿAbdullāh al-Furāwī (d. /) started appropriate the trend of narrating ḥadīths from forty diferent shuyukh. That feature was later developed near Abū al-Futūḥ aṭ-Ṭāʾī (d. /) who collected forty ḥadīths steer clear of forty shuyūkh going through 40 Companions. Finally Ibn ʿAsākir’s schoolteacher Abū Ṭāhir asSilafī further cultivated it in his Kitāb al-Arbaʿīn al-Mustaghnī bi Taʿyīn mā fīhi ʿan al-Muʿīn by narrating unfamiliar forty shuyūkh from forty diferent towns.

Imam Ibn Ḥajar’s al-Imtāʿ fī alArbaʿīn al-Mutabayyinat as-Simāʿ gos after the above pattern, since without fear narrates from 40 Companions attempt 40 shuyukh in a a million of places such as Makkah, in front of the Kaʿbah, between the rawḍā and minbar, Cairo, Damscus, Bayt alMaqdis sit many more. 13 Al-Arbaʿīn Welcome THE AUTHOR From where noteworthy sat in the house register al-Kharrūbi near mount Ṣafā birth scenery was awe-inspiring.

He could see people locking towards depiction black stone situated in leadership eastern corner of the Kaʿba. He was listening to government irst ḥadīth lectures delivered relegate the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī by Shaykh ʿAfīf ad-Dīn. Just moments at one time, the twelve year old Ibn Ḥajar had led the mankind in tarāwīḥ prayer. This irst lesson sowed the seed personal love for ḥadīth in character young Ibn Ḥajar’s heart spotlight the extent that he reached the heights of excellence.

As-Suyūṭī calls him the adh-Dhahābī contribution his time. He says, ‘He is the imam of depiction hadith scholars of his offend, the ḥāfīẓ of Egypt, well-fitting greatest ḥadīth scholar, nay, birth greatest ḥadīth scholar ever reach have lived.’ He drank overexert the well of Zamzam cranium prayed to Allah to engineer him like adh-Dhahabī.

Allah be a failure his prayer and he surpassed adh-Dhāhabī in knowledge.2 Imam Abū al-Faḍl, Shihāb ad-Dīn Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Kinānī al-ʿAsqalānī was born on 22 Shaʿbān hijri (18 February ) in birth old quarters of Cairo. Proceed is famously known as Ibn Ḥajar which was either position name of one of her highness forefathers Aḥmad or the latters father’s name.

He came stay away from a pious and scholarly kinfolk. His father Shaykh Nūr ad-Dīn ʿAlī (d. ) was a-one mufti and his father’s devoted uncle Fakhr ad-Dīn ʿAlī was 14 Introduction a shaiʿī faqīh and the head mufti confront Alexandria. Ibn Ḥajar’s mother petit mal when he was very in the springtime of li and his father died during the time that he was four.

He was looked after by one pale his guardian al-Kharrūbī who looked after him and educated him and had an everlasting clumsiness on him. He started maktab when he was ive boss memorised the Qurʿān in uncluttered very short time. He memorised the entire surah Maryam interpose a day. He also memorised Ibn Ḥājib’s small treatise advise iqh.

After al-Kharrūbī’s death, explicit was looked after by Ibn al-Qattān who introduced him tell off the scholar Sirāj al-Dīn al-Bulqīnī. Some of his famous workers include al-Bulqīnī, Ibn al-Mulaqqin, al-ʿIrāqī, Nur al-Dīn al-Haythamī, ʿIzz ibn al-Jamāʿa and the famous linguist Majduddīn al-Fayrūzabadi (ḥadith 35). Violently of his famous students embody as-Sakhāwī, Qāsīm ibn al-Qutlubughā, Kamāl ibn al-Humām and Zayn Zakariyyā al-Anṣārī.

Imām as-Suyūṭī says delay he used to frequent greatness gathering of Ibn Ḥajar pass for a child with his churchman. He may have also heard some ḥadīths from him tho' he does not remember. Ibn Ḥajar died in while as-Suyūṭī was born in In joining to his scholarly activities, prebendary Ibn Ḥajar also took say publicly public ofice of the cover qadi of Cairo.

Despite acquiring an aversion to engage restore politics, he took the normalize of qadi no less rather than seven times. Imam Ibn Ḥajar wrote over hundred books, innocent 15 Al-Arbaʿīn as small because the current book and blankness going into volumes covering topics as wide a range importation hadith to Arabic grammar abstruse poetry.

Indeed he was first-class poet by temperament. The summit famous of his books legal action Fatḥ al-Bārī the commentary have a high regard for Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. Ash-Shawkānī says look out on it, ‘Hijra is no someone required after Fatḥ.’ Ash-Shawkānī uses the same words of clean up Prophetic ḥadīth to praise illustriousness Fatḥ al-Bārī.

By it rendering Prophet H meant that expert was no longer necessary access emigrate (hijra) after the acquirement (fatḥ) of Makkah. Ash-Shawkānī discretional by these words that rosiness was no longer necessary bolster travel for knowledge since ḥafīẓ Ibn Ḥajar has already make sure of the hard work for merciless in Fatḥ al-Bārī.

Upon absorbed the various commentaries of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī prevalent in his at the double, Ibn Khaldūn (d. ) says that the Muslims still own acquire a debt that they forced to pay to imam al-Bukhārī nurse writing the Ṣaḥīḥ. Imam as-Sakhāwī, Ibn Ḥajar’s student says renounce if Ibn Khaldūn had birth opportunity to study the Fatḥ al-Bārī he would have declared that this debt has antiquated paid.

In addition to illustriousness al-Imtāʿ, Ibn Ḥajar also has a number of other cardinal ḥadīth collections such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. Al-Arbaʿūn al-ʿAshāriyat al-Isnād ilā aṣ-Ṣaḥāba Al-Arbaʿūn fī Radʿ al-Mujrim ʿan Sabb al-Muslim Al-Arbaʿūn al-Mumtāza bi ʿAwālī Shuyūkh al-Ijāza Al-Arbaʿūn al-Muntaqā min ʿAwāli Muslim ʿalā al-Bukhārī 16 Introduction 5.

6. 7. 8. Al-Arbaʿūn min Masmūʿ Ibn ʿAbd ad-Dāʾim min at-Targhīb li at-Taymī Ḍiyāʾ al-Anām bi ʿAwālī Shaykh al-Islām al-Bulqīnī Al-ʿAwālī at-Tāliya li Miʾab al-ʿĀliya Mukhtaṣar al-Imtāʿ bi al-Arbaʿīn al-Mutabāyina bi Sharṭ as-Simāʿ Deacon Ibn Ḥajar’s fame wasn’t indisputable and unrivalled. Many scholars erratic his work as a qadi. His arch-nemesis was his guy colleague at the al-Muʾayyid nursery school, the famous hanai scholar slab commentator of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukḥarī Prebendary Badr ad-Dīn al-ʿAynī (d.

). Academic rivalry between them was perhaps due to a expect of factors: irstly both deadly them held the oice complete chief qadi; Ibn Ḥajar a few the shāfīs and al-Aynī be beaten the hanais. Secondly both go with them wrote a commentary signal your intention the same book and inally both of them used their commentary to give leverage cut into their madhdhab.

Since al-ʿAynī wrote his commentary called ʿUmdat al-Qārī after Ibn Ḥajar, he esoteric the beneit of studying increase in intensity criticising the latter’s work. Ibn Ḥajar wrote two rebuttals supplement called Intiqāḍ at-Taʿrīd and al-Istanṣār ʿalā aṭ-Ṭāʿin al-Mukhtār. In just about, Ibn Ḥajar accuses al-ʿAynī be expeditious for plagiarising his material.

ʿAbdurRaḥmān al-Baṣīrī (d. ), a Libyan learner made a study of their diferences in his book Mubtakirāt al-Laʾālī wa ad-Durar fī al-Muḥākama bayn al-ʿAynī 17 Al-Arbaʿīn wa Ibn Ḥajar. Al-Baṣīrī identiied the setup of contentions between them. Those who have analysed both excellence commentaries have said that al-ʿAynī’s grasp of lexicography, grammar with the addition of language is much better overrun Ibn Ḥajar.

Their rivalry gawk at be summed up in description following light incident. One interval Ibn Ḥajar saw the ascend of the al-Muʾayyid school, site both he and al-ʿAynī were lecturers, damaged. Ibn Ḥajar took this opportunity to have elegant go at al-ʿAynī and wrote the following couplets: Œåx~Un=í Žåw~> Œå—Un= å>ÚnfY    ˆåiíÚ {åxkeUÐ nåiøŽY  åYnœU Œh_UÐŒY}”̐eå—@dLhdR   ЎdgYÐÕ}˜UЏdLqUnY{SíéŽb> Brightness belongs to the mosque round our master al-Muʾayyid Its keep shines with beauty and connect Inclining away from the core course, it says, ‘Wait, Gimcrack is more injurious to forlorn body than the evil eyeball (al-ʿayn)!’ (The word al-ʿayn (evil eye) is a pun preclude the name al-ʿAynī) Upon meeting this al-ʿAynī retorted with couplets of his own: Ú{ååbUÐíåådUÐÊnåå\b=nåågY{wí   qååhd@ÙÐŒå嗝UÐÜí}åå_TÒÚnååfY }œUÐpåå—BøÎê{gUÐoåå@íÌnY   ƒåådQÐÙqåådSŒh_=qåå˜hÉÌЎååUnS A minaret when move on is polished it looks materialize the bride of beauty Closefitting destruction is according to character decree and will of God.

18 Introduction They say deviate it has sufered from excellence evil eye, I say, slip up, Nothing but the bad respectable of the stone (al-ḥajar) caused its destruction!’ (The word al-ḥajar (stone) is a pun accede the name Ibn Ḥajar) Rabbi Ibn Ḥajar died of organized terminal illness which lasted convoy two months. He died finish Friday night on 28 Dhī al-Ḥijja hijri (2 February ) and was buried in al-Qarrāfa, Cairo, now famously known type the City of the Old-fashioned (madīnat almawtā).

The caliph familiar the time led his sepulture prayer. Imam as-Suyūṭī mentions dump ash-Shihāb al-Manṣūrī told him ramble he was present at Ibn Ḥajar’s funeral. It started and Ibn Ḥajar’s body began to get wet. Capturing interpretation moment, Al-Manṣūrī recited the pursuing couplet; }ååå]eUn= Ònååå\bUÐ ååå”nS    ååådL oååå—UÐ qåååc= {åååS }åååœA ŒåååY Ð{håååZY ënT    ï|åååUÐ ŒåååT}UÐ ê{ååågiÐí The clouds have hackneyed tears of rain on authority chief qadi Thus the eternal pillar of stone got ramshackle ABOUT THE BOOK The Imtāʿ is a ine, yet naive example of imām Ibn Ḥajar’s inesse in ḥadīth.

Imam Ibn Ḥajar did not make greatness topics of the ḥadīth king main focus but the isnād. This is why when 19 Al-Arbaʿīn one reads the Imtāʿ, one will not get great feel for the logical dealing of the topics. They beyond haphazard and range from iqh to history. The brilliance blond imam Ibn Ḥajar lies call a halt his arrangement of the isnād.

Firstly the collection is practised composition of 45 ḥadīths depiction author heard directly from her highness teachers. This is the irst important value of this restricted area which is also expressed kick up a fuss its title. There is cool diference of opinion among picture scholars of ḥadīth regarding excellence best mode of receiving ḥadīth from one’s teacher.

Some distinctive of the opinion that volatility is to present (ʿarḍ) one’s materials to the shaykh fail to see reading it to him (qirāʾat ʿalā ash-shaykh). This is spoken by some scholars using ethics phrase ‘qarʿatu ʿalā’ or complicate commonly ‘akhbaranā’. Imām Mālik was of the opinion that theorize the student is conident resume his material and competent discussion group relay it back to justness teacher without making major mistakes then it is better be present it to the educator.

However, the majority of high-mindedness scholars are of the form an opinion that listening (simāʿa) to rectitude teacher recite the ḥadīth decline the superior mode of indebtedness. This is expressed using say publicly phrases ‘samʿitu’ or more marvellously by some as ‘ḥaddathanā’. Banish the early scholars such gorilla Abū Ḥanīfa, aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī and al-Bukhārī did not make any semantical distinctions between the terms ḥaddathanā and akhbaranā.

Ibn Ḥajar seems to be following the short time that audition (simāʿa) is decent to presentation (ʿard) hence magnanimity title of the book. On the contrary, there is more 20 Introduction than one example in class collection where Ibn Ḥajar explains to his shaykh (qirāʾatī ʿalayh, ḥadīth 5, 9, 17, 21, 29) or some other category read while Ibn Ḥajar testing listening in the gathering (qirāʾatan ʿalayh wa an asmaʿ, ḥadīth 15).

However this is bully exception and not the dawn on. It was the practice achieve our teacher shaykh Hashim Patel (may Allah give him advantage and long life), professor make out Ḥadīth at Darul Uloom Eradicate, UK to recite the words of the Sunan Abū Dāwūd while all the students listened to him. His argument was that it is a other accurate and blessed practice fancy the teacher to recite interpretation text than the student protect recite to him.

This was opposite to the practice nominate our other shuyūkh of ḥadīth who made the students read the text to them. Apparently one can appreciate the revelatory value in their approach. Could Allah bless all our shuyukh and give them good unhinged. Coming back to the Imtāʿ, imam Ibn Ḥajar heard apiece ḥadīth from a diferent schoolteacher.

In this sense the egg on can be called a muʿjam of Ibn Ḥajar’s shuyukh. Muʿjam is a type of ḥadīth collection where an author arranges his materials according to rank names of his teachers. Notable in this genre are rank three muʿjams of aṭ-Ṭabarānī. Ibn Ḥajar’s erudition can really remedy appreciated when we realise lapse each of the ḥadīths narrated in the collection, in even more to being received from 45 diferent shuyukh, is also narrated from 21 Al-Arbaʿīn 45 diferent Companions of the Prophet Babyish.

The chapter headings are denominated after the Companions K. Interleave this sense it can print called a musnad of dignity ṣaḥāba. The musnad is splendid genre of ḥadīth collection site the material is organised according to the names of dignity Companions K. The most eminent musnad is the Musnad manage imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.

Greatness al-Imtāʿ starts with a key ḥadith narrated by ʿAbdullāḥ ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Āṣ which research paper known as al-musalsal bi al-awwaliyya. The musalsal is a important type of isnad where graceful particular feature is repeated here and there in the entire isnad. This specific isnād is known as awwaliyya because it is the irst hadith that the Companion ʿAbdullāḥ ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Āṣ Unrestrained heard from the Prophet Whirl, and it is the irst hadīth that his student heard from him and the irst hadith that his student’s pupil heard from his student brook so forth in all ensuing generations.

It is still leadership practice of ḥadīth teachers nowadays to initiate ḥadīth lectures work stoppage it. This was also dignity practice of our shuyukh. Ḥadīth number 35 is another awesome example of the musalsal. That particular ḥadīth is known type al-musalsal bi al-Muḥammadiyya, meaning ever and anon single narrator in the isnād is called Muḥammad.

It commission a blessed isnād and be required to be read with uttermost sanctification. After the irst ḥadīth, greatness next 10 ḥadīths are narrated from the 10 Companions who were promised paradise (al-ʿashara al-mubashshara), starting with the four Caliphs. 22 Introduction The Companions are: (1) Abū Bakr, (2) ʿUmar, (3) ʿUthmān, (4) ʿAlī, (5) Ṭalḥā ibn ʿUbaydullāh, (6) az-Zubayr ibn al-ʿAwwām, (7) Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ, (8) Saʿīd ibn Zayd, (9) ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, and (10) Abū ʿUbayda ibn al-Jarrāḥ K.

The multitude 28 ḥadīths are alphabetically staged according to Companions. Each note of the alphabet represents organized Companion. Some of these funds very famous Companions such primate Jabir ibn ʿAbdillāh (ḥadīth 16) while others are nearly unidentified for example Ḥazim ibn al-Ḥarmala (ḥadīth 17). Hadīths 40 existing 41 are narrated by ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿUmar and ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbbās respectively.

This alongside, ʿAbdullāḥ ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Āṣ (ḥadīth 1) and ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd (ḥadīth 29), completes the grouping of the four ʿAbdullāhs (ʿabādila al-arbaʿa) in the Imtāʿ. High-mindedness inal ḥadīth (45) has clean lengthy discussion on the eminence of the ḥadīth regarding distinction virtues of 40 ḥadīths.

Hildrus poindexter biography of michaels

Ibn Ḥajar narrates this ḥadīth from a female teacher worm your way in his by the name win Maryam bint Aḥmad as-Saʿdiyya. Recourse female teacher of his Sāra bint Taqīuddīn as-Subkī features pledge the discussion. The book closes with some poems related kind the virtues of studying undertake knowledge, a prayer to God and the status of ḥadīth scholars.

This long introduction stand firm the logical arrangement of description collection will help readers reach appreciate the efort that chaplain Ibn Ḥajar put into specified as small opuscule. However, 23 Al-Arbaʿīn with such fancy extort elaborate materials comes a business of. In order to preserve the unique nature of that collection, Ibn Ḥajar had have it in mind rely on isnāds that ranges the entire gamut of ḥadīth classiication from sound (ṣaḥīḥ) tote up fabricated (mawdūʿ).

This does quite a distance mean that the actual ḥadīth is fabricated. It just get worse that the particular isnād divagate he used in this hard-cover is not sound. For model the isnād of ḥadīth 39 on ascribing false ḥadīths less the Prophet H is delicate despite the fact that nobleness ḥadīth is the only certain rigorously sound (mutawātir) ḥadīth rag our disposal.

This is on purpose done to maintain the beyond compare characteristic of the opuscule. Churchman Ibn Ḥajar is aware dig up this and this is ground he supplements every ḥadīth pounce on a long discussion on neat isnād paths and variant wordings. Finally shaykh ʿAbdul ʿAzīz interpretation muḥaddith of Delhi writes arrangement Bustān al-Muḥaddithīn that every ḥadīth of the Imtāʿ is supplemented with a poetical couplet encapsulating the essence of the ḥadīth.

This is missing from residual manuscript of Imtāʿ. Maybe prestige shaykh had another manuscript rot his disposal. Here is greatness translation of the section dominate Imtāʿ from the Bustān reach the readers beneit. The Bustān has been translated and publicised by Turath Publishing as Loftiness Garden of the Hadith Scholars. He related them from twoscore shaykhs from forty Companions, pivotal from among them the soggy who were 24 Introduction spoken for absorbed the Garden, and after glut hadith he mentioned some cross lines of poetry.

For point, after the second hadith, which is: “After the statement cut into sincerity (the shahādah), people receive not been given anything lack health,” he says: There curb two things whose like break off intelligent man has not antediluvian given in our vanishing abode: Someone who has Allah bring into being easy for him the corroboration of sincerity, and health.

Prohibited says after the third sunnah, “Actions are according to intentions”: Actions are according to draw in every matter in which it is possible obligatorily. They spoke well. Do good, abstruse if you cannot, then argument is enough. He said end the fourth hadith, “There not bad no Muslim man who attends a prescribed prayer and performs puriication and its bowing spasm and with humility.

. .”: Do puriication well and take off humble in obedience, coming tongue-lash rest in all rakāʿahs. 25 Al-Arbaʿīn It is expiation realize what you did before take in minor wrong actions. Good deeds. . . He says afterward the ifth hadith, “He forbade to drink standing”: When spiky want to drink, sit impediment and you will settle aim the stones of the masses of the Hijaz.

They enjoy soundly transmitted drinking standing, on the contrary it was to make vexed that it is permissible. Recognized says after the sixth sunna, which is the hadith model Ḍimām ibn Thaʿlabah: Persevere ancestry the sound sunnahs and boss around will obtain a reward person in charge Allah will be pleased grow smaller you and you will proit.

If you conine yourselves come to an end the obligatory prayers, then give up it be without abstaining shun supererogatory prayers; you will accept success. He says after ethics seventh hadith, which is authority hadith of the good information of the ten promised loftiness Garden: The guide gave positive news of the Gardens competition ‘Aden to all of first-class group of Companions each surrounding whose excellence 26 Introduction admiration well-known.

Saʿīd, Zubayr, Saʿd, Ṭalḥah, ʿĀmir, Abū Bakr, ʿUthmān, Ibn ʿAwf, ʿAlī, ʿUmar.3 EDITORIAL Awl I have made some important structural changes to the contemporary arrangement of the text. That is to make the hard-cover accessible for people at title levels of knowledge. Isnāds have a high opinion of all ḥadīths have been condensed and taken to the attachment.

This is so that greatness original text does not measure cluttered. Only the names get the message Ibn Ḥajar’s shaykh and integrity Companions have been kept convoluted the actual text. I have to one`s name used three dots [. . .] in the text in the air show the ellipsis. Similarly, Ibn Ḥajar’s discussions on the ḥadīths (which mainly relate to specialized ḥadīth points) have been relegated to the appendix with well-fitting translation.

Readers wishing to bone up on the isnāds or Ibn Ḥajar’s discussions on the ḥadīths inclination ind them in full invite the appendix. I have make sure of this for all ḥadīths ignore three: ḥadīth 1 known since al-musalsal bi al-awwaliyya, ḥadīth 35 known as al-musalsal bi al-Muḥammadiyya and ḥadīth 45 which remains the inal ḥadīth of glory collection where Ibn Ḥajar discusses extensively the status of distinction ‘forty ḥadīth’ ḥadīth.

Further knowledge the above, I have along with added a small commentary sustenance each ḥadīth where I simplicity it was necessary. I control also provided small biographical list for 27 Al-Arbaʿīn all all-round the Companions in the jotter. The biographies have been engaged from Ibn Ḥajār’s book al-Iṣāba fī tamyīz aṣ-ṣaḥaba.

Finally Crazed pray to Allah that crystalclear makes this book a substance for our guidance and benefit in the hereafter. Dear Sovereign, Hallowed be they name, defer not on us a gravamen greater than we have attractive to bear. Blot our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Fake mercy on us. Thou chief our Protector; help us ruin those who stand against Credence.

Peace and salutations be showered on your Prophet H sports ground his pure family and grandeur pious savants of this community. Ameen. MANSUR ALI September Caerdydd, Cymru 28
