for correcting the text without knowledge, unlike the words of al-Haythamī, whose text states: "Yaʿqūb ḥadd al-ʿAlāʾ," as mentioned in the footnote. He made it: "Yaʿqūb ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ṭaḥlāʾ," which led to the aforementioned strangeness. The correct version is what was in the original: "Yaʿqūb ḥadd al-ʿAlāʾ," and it is a clear statement. The mentioned corrector was confused by the word (ḥadd), but there is no confusion as it is (jadd) with a jīm. However, they often neglect the letter and do not dot it, so he did not recognize it and went searching in the books of men. He found among them: "Yaʿqūb ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ṭaḥlāʾ" and placed it in the position of what was originally "Yaʿqūb jadd al-ʿAlāʾ," arbitrarily, without evidence or proof! And Yaʿqūb, the grandfather of al-ʿAlāʾ, has been mentioned in "al-Tahdhīb" with the statement: "Yaʿqūb al-Madanī, the client of al-Ḥurqah, the grandfather of al-ʿAlāʾ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yaʿqūb. He narrated from ʿUmar and Ḥudhayfah. His son ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and al-Walīd ibn Abī al-Walīd narrated from him," and there is no mention of his reliability. The general statement of al-Haythamī mentioned earlier also indicates that he is trustworthy, so perhaps he is in "Thiqāt Ibn Ḥibbān." It should be reviewed. Although the aforementioned al-Jumaḥī is unknown to us, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Lahīʿah contradicted him in his isnād, saying: from al-Walīd ibn Abī al-Walīd from al-ʿAlāʾ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān from his father that he heard Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān ... and he mentioned it. Ibn Lahīʿah's ḥadīth is authentic if narrated by one of the ʿAbādilah, and this is the case, as it is from the narration of Ibn Wahb from him, as I had extracted it there, so there is no need for repetition. I only re-extracted it here from the first path to verify the statement in its isnād after Allāh facilitated access to it, and thus facts that were hidden from us were revealed, as I explained earlier. So all praise and gratitude are due to Allāh
