The questioner: ... al-Munjid, about twenty years ago, regarding the correct spelling of Muhammad ibn Salām or Salām, al-Sharīf al-Jawānī ... in the magazine ... I recently found another treatise by Ibn Nasir al-Dīn al-Dimashqī responding to him, titled "Removing Blame from Those Who Lightened the Name of the Father of Shaykh al-Bukhārī, Muhammad ibn Salām," so I intend to publish it, if Allah wills ... .
The Shaykh : Very good.
The questioner: In it, he clarifies the statements of the imams and those who established the correct spelling from al-Khatīb al-Baghdādī and others, as I recall. He says: How did al-Sharīf al-Jawānī attribute [the error]; meaning, he misleads those who lighten Salām; so what is your opinion on this issue? That is, is the correct spelling with a light lam or a heavy lam?
The Shaykh: By Allah, I do not have a specific scientific study on this, but what we know or use is the heavy lam.
The questioner: The heavy lam.
The Shaykh: Yes, indeed. As for the light lam, I have no information on it.
The questioner: I think this treatise has misled many people?
The Shaykh : Yes, you may.
The questioner: And there is no explicit report from anyone that it is with a heavy lam; rather, he derived it from the opposite implication of these things, where they mention some of those who lightened it and left the rest, among many other lighteners.
The Shaykh: So he takes from them and takes the answer.
The questioner: Yes, but Ibn Nasir al-Dīn al-Dimashqī is an authority on this subject, and he transmitted a number of texts.
The Shaykh: And he is a memorizer, important, this is useful.
