completing his claim, affirming the invalidity of his assertion with some deductions that supported his claim! This will be detailed in this series, Allāh willing, in the seventh volume (number 3181). The other will be addressed, Allāh willing, in the new edition of the first volume of this series, number (60). 15- 963- (This religion will continue to stand...). Add at the end of (p. 653) after his statement: "And Allāh knows best" the following: Then another possibility occurred to me; that his statement: "from Abū Khalīfah" is a distortion of "narrated to me by Abū Khalīfah." I have seen in "Tahdhīb al-Ḥāfiẓ" (8/301) that Fiṭr ibn Khalīfah narrated from his father, and it is also mentioned in the biography of Khalīfah himself that his son Fiṭr narrated from him. If this is correct, then the correct narration would be: "from Fiṭr ibn Khalīfah: narrated to me by Abū Khalīfah..." However, this is complicated by the fact that the ḥāfiẓ mentioned in the biography of Abū Khālid al-Wālibī that Fiṭr ibn Khalīfah narrated from him, and not his father Khalīfah! Similarly in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl," the matter still requires further investigation, so whoever finds it, let him kindly share it, and we will be grateful to him. 16- 980- (Do not single out the night of Friday for standing...). (Important Benefit): Know that his statement ﷺ in this ḥadīth: "unless it is in a fast one of you observes" should be interpreted with the wording in the ḥadīth that follows: "... unless a day before it, or a day after it," which is agreed upon, and with the other narrations mentioned under it. They indicate that Friday should not be fasted alone, and this is confirmed by the witness mentioned there with the wording: "Do not fast Friday alone," and its meaning is in "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī" from the ḥadīth of Jābir (1984), so the statement of the ḥāfiẓ in "al-Fatḥ" (4/234): "It is understood from the exception that it is permissible to fast it for one who happens to fast on days he habitually fasts; like one who fasts the white days, or one who has a habit of fasting on a specific day such as the Day of ʿArafah if it coincides with Friday"!
