![]() ![]() I have kept his order of the books and the chapters, following his course regarding them, and I have generally divided every chapter into three sections. When I attribute a tradition to them, it is as though I trace it back to the Prophet for whom God’s blessing and safe-keeping is asked, because they have completed the isnad and made it unnecessary for us to do so. al-Husain al-Baihaqi, Abul Hasan Razin b. ‘Abd ar-Rahman ad-Darimi, Abul Hasan ‘Ali b. ![]() Yazid Ibn Majah al-Qazwini, Abu Muhammad ‘Abdallah b. Shu'aib an-Nasa’i, Abu ‘Abdallah Muhammad b. al-Ash‘ath as-Sijistani, Abu ‘Abd ar-Rahman Ahmad, b. Hanbal ash-Shaibani, Abu ‘Isa Muhammad b. Anas al-Asbahi, Abu ‘Abdallah Muhammad b. al-Hajjaj al-Qushairi, Abu ‘Abdallah Malik b. Isma'il al-Bukhari, Abul Husain Muslim b. But he, for whom we pray for God’s good pleasure, was found fault with by some critics for adopting the method of abridgement and omitting the isnads, even though his transmission, he being a reliable authority, is equivalent to an isnad so because districts with landmarks are not like those which have none, having asked God most high to bless and help me, I marked what he had left unmarked as it was transmitted by the thoroughly versed imams and well-grounded reliable authorities, such as Abu ‘Abdallah Muhammad b. ![]() Mas'ud al-Farra', al-Baghawi, whose degree may God exalt, is the most comprehensive book written on its subject and the one which most effectively deals with unfamiliar and unusual traditions.

To proceed: Only by following what has emanated from his mind can one effectively hold fast to his guidance, and only by means of the explanation of what he disclosed can a perfect grip of God's revelation be attained. Then he, to whom be granted the blessings and safe-keeping of God, raised the landmarks which had been cast down, healed by upholding the statement of God's Unity those among the sick who were upon the brink of destruction, made clear the paths of guidance for those who wished to tread them, and displayed the treasures of bliss to those who aimed at possessing them. I testify that there is no god but God, a testimony which is a means of attaining salvation and a guarantee of the exalting of men’s degrees., And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger whom He sent when the traces of the paths of faith were obliterated, their lights were extinguished, their strength was weakened, and their position was unknown. He whom God guides has no one to lead him astray, and he whom He leads astray has no guide. We praise Him and ask His help and forgiveness, and we seek refuge in God from the evils within us and from our wicked deeds. In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. ![]()
