the first page of his "Mukhtaṣar" and he did the same with his other book, which he named "Ṣafwat al-Tafāsīr"; he adorned them with four ḥadīths that were fabricated and disgracefully presented, and he placed beneath them the name of the sponsor of the printing of the mentioned books, Sayyid Ḥasan ʿAbbās Sharbatlī. It does not concern me whether they were penned by him or al-Ṣābūnī, because the goal is to warn readers against fabricating lies about the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and the scholars, and to inform them about those who falsely claim knowledge so they may be cautious of them. The four ḥadīths are as he listed them: 1- "The noblest of my nation are the bearers of the Qurʾān." al-Tirmidhī 2- "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allāh will receive a reward..." al-Bukhārī 3- "Recite the Qurʾān, for it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for its companion." al-Bukhārī 4- "I have left among you that which if you hold onto it, you will never go astray..." Agreed upon. Attributing these four ḥadīths to the mentioned sources is a lie against them, and here is the clarification: As for the first ḥadīth, al-Tirmidhī did not narrate it at all; rather, it was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī and others who are lenient in narration and do not adhere to authentic ḥadīths. (See "al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr" and "al-Jāmiʿ al-Kabīr" by al-Suyūṭī). The second and third ḥadīths are falsely attributed to al-Bukhārī, as he did not narrate them. The second was narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who authenticated it, and it is referenced in the commentary on "al-Ṭaḥāwiyyah" (p. 206 - fourth edition). As for the third, it was narrated by Muslim, not al-Bukhārī, as found in "al-Targhīb" and "al-Jāmiʿayn" and others. As for the fourth, it was narrated by Imām Mālik in "al-Muwaṭṭaʾ" in a muʿḍal form, but it has a corroborating narration from Ibn ʿAbbās, which I have referenced in "al-Mishkāt," and another with a similar meaning, which will be discussed
