Question:
The benefits we heard from some of the shaykhs: he says that in the conclusion of Sahih al-Bukhari, and in the conclusion of Bulugh al-Maram, Ibn Hajar’s custom is to cite the hadith and then provide its source references. But here, in the final hadith, he said, “And the two Shaykhs narrated it,” so that the last thing with which the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) are concluded would be this.
Answer:
A destroyer and one who is prevented, he may have intended this, or he may not have intended it. The point is that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) expressed regret that he ended his book with this.
