The questioner : And we also wanted to translate some of the books and some of the treatises into Urdu?
The Shaykh : For example?
The questioner : Such as "The Description of the Prophet's Prayer," and also "Warning the Prostrator from Taking Graves as Mosques," and this has been published in Pakistan in Urdu?
The Shaykh : "The Warning"?
The questioner : Yes, and we also wanted "A Summary of the Rulings on Funerals," and "Introduction to the Summary of the Exaltation," in which you spoke about the attributes and so on, so we wanted to take permission from you to translate and publish them?
The Shaykh : I have no objection to that, but the rights to some of these books do not belong to me; they belong to the publisher, which is the Islamic Office; such as "The Introduction" that you referred to, so permission to print it must be obtained from the publisher, which is "Zuhayr al-Shawish," and perhaps you know him?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Are you publishing the other volumes of "The Weak Hadiths"? Have you reached the fourth volume of "The Weak Hadiths"?
The Shaykh : We are in that regard.
The questioner : Yes, it is very important that you devote yourselves to this work.
The Shaykh : This is what has diverted us from many of the treatises previously mentioned; because in reality -- ... -- the fifth volume is under press.
The questioner : This is in ten volumes, and "The Weak Hadiths" is in twelve volumes?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : "The Authentic Hadiths" will be in ten volumes - if Allah wills -?
The Shaykh : No; "The Authentic Hadiths" is in about six or seven volumes, whereas "The Weak Hadiths" is in about twelve volumes.
The questioner : Twelve volumes, yes, does each volume contain five hundred hadiths?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And in a treatise - also - of yours, I do not know if this is a personal interview with you, "The Voice of the Arabs Asks and Muhammad Nasir al-Din Answers."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Is it possible to obtain a copy of ...?
The Shaykh : If it were possible for us to obtain it, there is no doubt it would be easy to photocopy it, but I do not know if it would be possible for me to obtain it; because my library, regarding the books I need, is somewhat organized, but the other treatises that I do not need have almost become forgotten, so if I were asked about any of them, I would not remember where they are, like that. This is from one side, and from another side, it might have been possible for me to look for them if you had had ample time.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The questioner : After that, we will correspond - if Allah wills - with some of the brothers and they will look for it ... .
