Volume One

(43) P. vi "This book deals with the fiqh questions and provides supporting evidence to them from the clear [text of the] Book (of Allaah), and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam." This is a claim true for the most part, however the book does contain many weak (Da’eef) ahaadeeth – some of which he remained silent about, and the others he thought to be saheeh or hasan – following others in that and being mistaken therein. And it contains more than a few questions for which he does not mention a proof – rather for some of them, the proof is against them. And this will be more fully explained in its correct places inshaa-Allaah.

(43) P. viii line 10, "In Saheeh al-Bukhaaree it is recorded from Abu Sa’eed al-Muqbiri that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam, said, "This religion is easy ..."" The narrator of the hadeeth is Sa’eed ibn Abee Sa’eed al-Muqbiree from Aboo Hurairah. The wording of al-Bukhaaree – Book of Imaan is "The religion is easy ..." the wording, "This religion is easy ..." is reported by an-Nasaa‘ee and Ibn Hibbaan.

P. 44 p. viii line 13, "In Saheeh Muslim a hadeeth says, "The most beloved religion..." The hadeeth is in fact reported by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh without isnaad – and in his Aadaabul-Mufrad with connected isnaad, and is reported by Ahmad in al-Musnad and others from Ibn ’Abbaas from the Prophet, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam. It is not reported by Muslim. The hadeeth is Hasan Lighairihi. [Tamaamul-Minnah p. 44, as-Saheehah, no. 881]

(45) p. ix 5 lines from the end, "There is a hadeeth where the Prophet, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam, prohibited the discussion of events that have not yet occurred." This hadeeth is reported by Aboo Daawood, Ahmad and others and is weak (Da’eef) due to one of its narrators, ’Abdullaah ibn Sa’d.

P. x line 1, "The Prophet, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam, also stated, "Allaah has made certain things obligatory ..."" Declared Da’eef by Shaikh al-Albaanee due to its chain being disconnected between Makhool and Aboo Tha’labah – the companion.

Ghayatul-Maraam (no. 4), al-Mishkaat (no. 197) and al-Imaan (p. 43) of Shaikh al-Albaanee. Jaami’ul-’Uloom wal-Hikam of Ibn Rajab, no. 30.

(46) p. 2 no. (iii), "’Alee narrated ... This hadeeth is related by Ahmad." It is reported by ’Abdullaah ibn Ahmad. The hadeeth is hasan, [Irwaa‘ul-Ghaleel, no. 13].

(46) p. 4 25^th line, "There is also a hadeeth from ’Abdullaah ibn ’Umar ... however this hadeeth is mudtarab ..." Rather it is Saheeh – only some weak narrations of it are mudtarab. (Irwaa‘ul-Ghaleel, no. 23 and 172]

(47) p. 5 3^rd paragraph, "The hadeeth of Jaabir ..." The hadeeth is weak, as an-Nawawee says in al-Majmoo’, (1/173).

(48) p. 5 3^rd paragraph, "It has also been related from Ibn ’Umar ..." Also weak. Its isnaad contains Ayyoob ibn Khaalil al-Harraanee who is Da’eef – and on top of that he causes idtiraab in its isnaad.

(48) p. 5 3^rd paragraph, "Yahya Ibn Sa’eed ..." It is reported from ’Umar by Yahyaa ibn ’Abdir-Rahmaan ibn Haatib (who was not born until after the death of ’Umar) not by Yahyaa ibn Sa’eed. It is therefore weak (munqati’).

(49) p. 7 "The bones, horns, ... skin ... of dead animals ... all of these are considered pure …" Rather the skin of dead animals is established to be impure due to the many ahaadeeth from the Prophet, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam, such as his, sallallaahu ’alaihi wa sallaam, saying, "When the skin is tanned then it is purified" [Reported by Muslim and others]. The fact that the skin has to be tanned to make it pure is clearly shown by the following hadeeth reported by Ibn ’Abbaas – (p7-8).

(50) p. 8 "Blood ..." "Al-Hasan said ... mentioned by al-Bukhaaree" Rather al-Bukhaaree quotes it in mu’allaq form. It is, however, connected with saheeh isnaad by Ibn Abee Shaibah.
