Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : (May Allah preserve you), I recall that you mentioned in the introduction to "Sahih al-Jami'" that the commentators have become numerous. Have the commentators become numerous?
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Have the commentators on the book "al-Fath al-Kabir" become numerous?
The Shaykh : "al-Fath al-Kabir"?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : "al-Kabir."
The questioner : Or I don't know.
The Shaykh : With the zayyadah (addition)?
The questioner : Yes, yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Have the commentators become numerous?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, you are mistaken. "al-Fath al-Kabir" has no commentary at all.
The questioner : Is it the authentic one? So, "Sahih al-Jami' and its Addition," O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : "al-Jami' al-Saghir," my brother.
The questioner : Yes, yes, "al-Jami' al-Saghir and its Addition."
The Shaykh : No, no, but just "al-Jami' al-Saghir."
The questioner : Without the addition, yes.
The Shaykh : Without the addition, and not "al-Fath."
The questioner : "al-Jami'." O Shaykh, for example, meaning...?
The Shaykh: How?
The questioner : I mean, I would like to benefit from you regarding some of these printed commentaries?
The Shaykh : You have "al-Siraj al-Munir fi Sharh al-Jami' al-Saghir," and you have one of which only a part was printed; this one is printed in full.
The questioner : For all the addition, meaning "al-Siraj," O my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : "al-Siraj" is a commentary on the entire "al-Jami'"?
The Shaykh : The entire "al-Jami'."
The questioner : Likewise, the commentary of al-Manawi.
The Shaykh : Yes, and "al-Manawi" is known.
The questioner : It is known.
Another questioner : It is known.
The Shaykh : He is asking about something not well-known.
The questioner: Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, perhaps it is by Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him).
The Shaykh : Who?
The questioner : Perhaps it is by Imam al-Shafi'i and some scholars that...
The Shaykh : I did not understand.
The questioner : No, I say: Perhaps there is a placement by Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) and some scholars.
The Shaykh : We have not finished from here.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : In the commentary of al-Jami', between the commentary of al-Manawi and the commentary of another one whose name I am not remembering right now, perhaps his nisbah or title is "al-'Alqami." This is what I do not use; because it is only one part, they print a commentary on top and a commentary on the bottom, and then these things are not printed, so speak of them without blame.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Have the commentators on the book "al-Fath al-Kabir" become numerous?
The Shaykh : "al-Fath al-Kabir"?
The questioner: Yes.
