attributing that to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Therefore, the scholars of ḥadīth—may Allāh reward them—have compiled on some of the well-known ones books of takhrīj, which clarify the status of each ḥadīth mentioned therein, whether it is authentic, weak, or fabricated. Such books include "al-ʿInāyah bi-Maʿrifat Aḥādīth al-Hidāyah" and "al-Ṭuruq wa-al-Wasāʾil fī Takhrīj Aḥādīth Khulāṣat al-Dalāʾil," both by Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qādir ibn Muḥammad al-Qurashī al-Ḥanafī, and "Naṣb al-Rāyah li-Aḥādīth al-Hidāyah" by al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Zaylaʿī, and its abridgment "al-Dirāyah" by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī, and "Talkhīṣ al-Ḥabīr fī Takhrīj Aḥādīth al-Rāfiʿī al-Kabīr" also by him, among others, which would take too long to mention. I say: Since knowing this in detail is difficult for most people, I have authored this book for them to learn how the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) prayed, so they may follow his guidance in it, hoping from the Lord—exalted is He—for what He promised us through the tongue of His Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the rewards of those who follow him, without that diminishing their rewards in the slightest..." the ḥadīth. It was narrated by Muslim and others, and it is referenced in (al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah) (863)
