The Shaykh:
Ibn Hisham has *Awzah al-Masalik* in the commentary of Ibn Malik’s *Alfiyyah*. That is the book of Ibn Hisham that we studied; we studied *Awzah al-Masalik* to Ibn Malik’s *Alfiyyah*. He also has *al-Qatr*, the text of *al-Qatr* in grammar. And he has *Mughni al-Labib ‘an Kutub al-A‘arib*; this one is by al-Mubarrad, yes. *Mughni*, *Mughni*. When “al-Mughni” is mentioned among the people of language, it refers to *Mughni al-Labib*. When “al-Mughni” is mentioned among the jurists, it refers to *al-Mughni* by Ibn Qudamah, the commentary on al-Khiraqi.
