I have elaborated on mentioning these paths to affirm the authenticity of the ḥadīth and to respond to a man who recently presented us with a new edition of al-Nawawī's "Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn," which is ornate and decorated in appearance, but very ugly in its content. It is sufficient for the reader to know that he removed approximately 130 ḥadīths from it, claiming that they are all weak, while some of them are in "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī" and "Muslim." He criticized them in a manner that contradicts the principles and well-known rules of ḥadīth science among scholars (1). He placed them at the end of his edition and followed them with numbers indicating other ḥadīths he weakened in his commentary, all of which are authentic, numbering 15 ḥadīths, some of which are in the "Ṣaḥīḥayn" or one of them. Here are their numbers in his edition with symbols indicating those found in them: (105 - which is this ḥadīth of al-ʿIrbāḍ, 129-M, and the response to it is in "al-Ṣaḥīḥah" (3007), 207 (see al-Ṣaḥīḥah 173), 217 - Command your children to pray (recorded in al-Irwāʾ 247), 241 - B (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 764), 243 (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 919), 273 - M, 501 - M, 509 - M, and the response to it is in "al-Ṣaḥīḥah" (3176), 957 - M, which is about the virtue of fasting on the day of ʿArafah, p. 405 - M (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 545), 1262 (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 1243), p. 441, p. 450 (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 2435), 1431 (al-Ṣaḥīḥah 128). As for the ḥadīths he labeled as "weak," numbering 130, they are of two categories: one of which I had pointed out its weakness in the introduction of our edition of "al-Riyāḍ," and he adopted it and expanded on its documentation and uncovering its defects, relying on my books such as "al-Irwāʾ," the two series, and others, without explicitly stating that except rarely, just to strengthen his position! This is from his claiming what he has not been given, which is evident to anyone who pays attention to some of his phrases and to anyone who compares his documentation with mine. There is no clearer evidence of this than his falling into the same error I had fallen into for one reason or another, as he copied from
