the introduction of "Ḍaʿīf al-Adab" was not solitary, but included other responses to people like you who weaken authentic ḥadīths, and others who authenticate weak ḥadīths without knowledge. Among them are those who frequently quote me, benefit from my books, praise them, and refer to them, giving the impression that they are appreciative and loving. Yet, I included them with you in the response to show that I respond for the sake of knowledge and to defend the oppressed sunnah from those who claim knowledge, not out of personal enmity as you attempt to interpret it with malice and aggression. The point is that the response to you was part of other responses, and very briefly in less than sixteen pages. Had I devoted a detailed response to you alone, it would have been another book larger than the one I am introducing: "Ḍaʿīf al-Adab al-Mufrad," which is not suitable as you are well aware. And since you urge me to mention something of those "deceptions and errors"—yes, "errors" (not mistakes)—here I am doing so, if Allāh wills, not for your sake, for you are aware of what you have done! But for the sake of some readers who do not notice them and still think well of the speaker: First, you said—after mentioning that the ḥadīth is suspended in al-Bukhārī, not explicitly heard, thus disconnected—"There is a difference regarding 'he said to me,' and the more likely opinion is that it is also a suspension for reasons too lengthy to mention here." So I say: it contains the following deception and more: 1- There is no disagreement regarding the connection of a chain in which al-Bukhārī said, "So-and-so said to me," but rather an unknown Maghribi said, "It is a chain that al-Bukhārī does not mention for argumentation."
