in the future, like the missing numbers of the ḥadīths (2520, 2551, 2576, 2639, 2658, 2723, 2748, 2764, 2813, 2827, 2878, 2883) and others. This matter I have mentioned here prompts me to point out a very important issue; it is related to what some ignorant innovators of this era have clung to, those who have darkened some letters and books with attacks on the sunnah and its people, casting doubt on its carriers and advocates, like that perished one in his fanaticism, drowning in his ignorance, called (al-Saqqāf). He exploited a number of those differing ijtihāds or scholarly reviews, labeling them as "contradictions," while they are merely the contradictions of his own mind, and the disturbances of his thoughts, which reflected on his heart as enmity, and on his pen as hostility!! As for the people of justice and fairness, they consider such scholarly stances as an elevation in honesty, and a height in fulfilling the rights to their people. I mention to the dear readers that many of those "contradictions" that the arrogant al-Saqqāf has darkened by mentioning are merely his deception upon the readers, his attempt to mislead them, and his manipulation of their minds!! This is something that is not hidden—if Allāh wills—from anyone with the slightest engagement in the sciences of the sunnah, or from anyone with the slightest knowledge of the methods of the innovators in writing!!
