Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, my Shaykh, regarding the Minor Sunan of al-Nasa'i in al-Mujtaba, is it an abridgment by Ibn al-Sunni, or is it as Ibn Kathir says in the introduction to al-Jami'?
The Shaykh : The truth is, I do not have a specific study on this matter to inform you of anything. What they say is that it appears to be so, because I recall that in some of the hadiths within the Sunan, it says "Ibn al-Sunni said." This confirms that opinion, and Allah knows best.
The questioner : That it is an abridgment by Ibn al-Sunni.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
