Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What about the book "Sahih al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib"?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The book "Sahih al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib."
The Shaykh : "Sahih al-Targhib" is a problem in itself; there is no room for printing it; because, as you have seen, it is printed with many different fonts, and it is printed in the old style of setting the type by hand. Now, the setting is done by computer, and on the other hand, the people who handle this type of printing are young beginners who are not experienced, and they have not been in this noble profession for ten years. Therefore, they make us work very hard in printing a book like "Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah," Volume Four, and like "Mukhtasar al-Shama'il." Each of these two books took us two years, and the fonts in them are ordinary, meaning standard, whereas the fonts in "Sahih al-Targhib," as you know, are of many different types.
Yes.
