The Shaykh : They call them manuscripts.
The questioner : I have obtained many manuscripts.
The Shaykh : Like what?
The questioner : For example, the manuscript of *Fath al-Qadir* by al-Shawkani, in the handwriting of the Imam.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : I obtained all of al-Shawkani's manuscripts, including the manuscript of *al-Sayl al-Jarrar* or three manuscripts of *al-Sayl wa Bulbul al-Ghummah*... I also obtained three manuscripts of it, which I edited and it is now being printed in two volumes. This was the work of the Shi'ah... upon him, but praise be to Allah, Allah prepared it for him.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Where was it printed?
The questioner : Dar al-Ilm in Jeddah.
Al-Halabi : The Shi'ah in Yemen...?
The Shaykh : Zaydis, meaning the majority are Zaydis, and Imam al-Shawkani himself was a Zaydi, but Allah guided him to the Sunnah... We are honored by you. Welcome, may Allah bless you... a great deal, I mean.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. The poor servant of his Lord, (Glorified and Exalted is He), Muhammad Subhi ibn Hasan Hallaq, originally Syrian, residing in Yemen for more than fifteen years. I work in guidance at the General Authority for Scientific Institutes and give some lectures at Imam University, which was established byThe Shaykh : Abd al-Majid al-Zindani. I have some editing work... and the honor of publishing some manuscripts. In truth, this was my personal passion, but Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) helped me to manifest this love and desire, so I served what I was able to serve. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah make you beneficial.
