and we are certain that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) did not say: "Where is Allāh?" Rather, he said: "Do you testify that there is no deity but Allāh?" which was narrated by Aḥmad... and... and... with authentic isnāds. Then he repeated similar words in another place (pp. 186-187). In it are numerous astonishing lies that confirm the man does not fear Allāh, nor is he ashamed before the servants of Allāh. Discussing them at length would be very extensive, so I will summarize as much as I can: Among these is that the wording he attributed to Aḥmad—and others whom I indicated with ellipses, who are eight in total—misleads readers into thinking they all narrated it with the mentioned wording, and from a single Companion, which is false and deceitful. They actually narrated it with more than one wording and from more than one Companion. Some narrated it from an Anṣārī—whom al-Bayhaqī considered weak due to interruption as previously mentioned—, some from al-Shurayd—whose chain is ḥasan despite the disagreement over its isnād as previously mentioned, and it is with the wording: "Who is your Lord?" contrary to the mentioned wording!—, and some from Ibn ʿAbbās—and it includes Ibn Abī Laylá. So where are the authentic isnāds he falsely claimed?! Moreover, he quickly contradicted himself in the other place mentioned; for he said—following some of the sources indicated with ellipses—: ".. and al-Ṭabarānī (12/27) with an authentic isnād..", then he mentioned two other sources completing the eight. I said: This is also false as you know, especially if we refer the pronoun to the nearest mentioned—al-Ṭabarānī—since it includes Ibn Abī Laylá as you know! And among his deceit—beyond what has been mentioned—is that he deliberately did not add to those sources Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Khuzaymah at all, nor to the seventh volume of "Sunan al-Bayhaqī"; because
