The Shaykh’s review with the coordinator of his book *Adab al-Mufrad* regarding errors that occurred in the book’s formatting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : We have returned, and the return is to Allah.
The questioner : We are always delighted to hear your voice, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : Please, this caught my attention.
The questioner : Please, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I do not know if I did not notice it previously; it appears that the title is a weak line, a weak line.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The second line: “*Adab al-Mufrad*” by Imam al-Bukhari. There is no problem with the second line, but *Adab al-Mufrad* is between double quotation marks, while “by Imam al-Bukhari” is outside the quotation marks, whereas it should be inside the quotation marks. If you write the phrase and reflect on it so that we can cooperate in correcting it, either correcting this situation or modifying it.
The questioner : No, O our Shaykh, if this is your wish, although I am the one who placed it, O our Shaykh, because the title of the book is placed in parentheses, unless you intended here that, excuse me, *Adab al-Mufrad* by Imam al-Bukhari means it is all one thing.
The Shaykh : Yes, but if you had listened to me and written the phrase, you would not have been confused.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah, well, I have removed it, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, *Adab al-Mufrad* is between double quotation marks, and “by Imam al-Bukhari” is outside them. I see that it is necessary for “by Imam al-Bukhari” to be within the quotation marks, meaning the quotation marks should enclose *Adab al-Mufrad* by Imam al-Bukhari.
The questioner : So, that means quotation marks twice.
The Shaykh : No, I say we opened quotation marks before *Adab al-Mufrad*.
The questioner : All right, O our Shaykh, I have written them.
The Shaykh : Good. After *Adab al-Mufrad*, there is no closing of the quotation marks; rather, the closing is after we say “by Imam al-Bukhari.”
The questioner : And I have done so.
The Shaykh : Beautiful. Now, here is the question.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Which is more preferable?
The questioner : By Allah, O our Shaykh, as a rule, what we do and what you do in books, which is placing every book title in parentheses, what I see, and Allah the Exalted knows best, is the more preferable, unless you want a specific convention. And here, *Adab al-Mufrad* by Imam al-Bukhari is weak, but this does not contradict that, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, no, this is exactly what I want, because what you are saying about this is when the book is not composed of two books.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So here, *Al-Da'if* by Al-Albani.
The questioner : Yes, that is completely correct.
The Shaykh : *Adab al-Mufrad* by al-Bukhari.
The questioner : Yes, correct.
The Shaykh : So I see that “by Imam al-Bukhari” should be part of the entirety of *Adab al-Mufrad*, and the quotation marks that we closed around *Adab al-Mufrad* should be closed after al-Bukhari.
The questioner : I have an opinion, O our Shaykh, if you like it, it may combine the two goods.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : *Al-Da'if* alone, of course, we are done with it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : A large quotation mark below it, and inside it two small quotation marks, or two small quotation marks and the word *Adab al-Mufrad*, and then after “by Imam al-Bukhari,” we close the second large quotation mark.
The Shaykh : Let me follow my own command.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : And tell me what to do.
The questioner : I am telling you, O our Shaykh, look at what we are writing at the beginning: *Adab al-Mufrad* between quotation marks, correct.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : “By Imam al-Bukhari” without anything.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The questioner : Before the quotation mark of *Adab al-Mufrad*, we put a large quotation mark, and after “by Imam al-Bukhari,” we put a large quotation mark only.
The Shaykh : Meaning, we delete the small quotation marks.
The questioner : No, O our Shaykh, it will create a shading that *Adab al-Mufrad* is a specific book, and the two large quotation marks indicate the book as a whole, which is your book, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Well, now let me clarify.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is a large quotation mark.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : After it.
The questioner : Two small quotation marks.
The Shaykh : This is what I told you: a large quotation mark instead of the two small ones.
The questioner : No, O our Shaykh, you did not tell me that.
The Shaykh : Well, I was wrong.
The questioner: I did not understand.
The Shaykh : Well, I have nothing on me now; the important thing is a large quotation mark and two small quotation marks.
The questioner : Then *Adab al-Mufrad*, we close the small quotation marks, and for “by Imam al-Bukhari,” we close the large quotation mark.
The Shaykh : And for what is all this confusion?
The questioner : On the basis that the word *Adab al-Mufrad* remains between the small quotation marks.
The Shaykh : No, my brother, there is no need.
The questioner : Well, good, if Allah wills, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And then you have the same observation below.
The questioner : Below, yes.
The Shaykh : Request with it the correct *Adab al-Mufrad* by Imam al-Bukhari.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So here, *Sahih Adab al-Mufrad*; here the error is worse.
The questioner : The parenthesis came on the outside.
The Shaykh : Two parentheses opened, two parentheses *Sahih Adab al-Mufrad*, we closed the parentheses, “by Imam al-Bukhari” became *Sahih* by Imam al-Bukhari.
The questioner : Yes, yes, I understood you, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So then.
The questioner : We modify it as you wished for both.
The Shaykh : It is like this.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O my professor.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : We have not seen it among the people of jurisprudence.
The Shaykh : Intended the Sunnah.
The student : Is it, O our Shaykh, for example, from the profession of watchmaking I benefited, because for example...
The Shaykh : No, it did not enter.
The student : As you said, O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And it turns into a caller to Allah between the moment of my conviction with him, so what is the reason after that to lead people into labyrinths that they have no need for and that do not benefit them in the least, while the religion is clear before them?
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : We have returned, and the return is to Allah.
The questioner : We are always delighted to hear your voice, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
