Discussion on correcting the notes in the Shaykh’s tracing of the four Sunan.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: In the printed edition, it is ... Ali Hasan.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Like this, meaning, and benefiting, for example, from some things that have not yet been printed.
The Shaykh: By Allah, this involves extreme difficulty, especially since we have a plan to print these books anew. The old edition is not just a matter of his opinion possibly changing regarding the grading; the issue is that the abridgment that occurred in these four Sunan is destructive and very defective. It contains, I mean, defects that we will mention, if Allah wills, in the new edition. We are currently thinking about this because the rights of the Islamic Office for these four Sunan have ended, so they have become my right. Therefore, a new edition will be published containing these things you are alluding to, as well as other matters that only scholars of knowledge would notice.
