Al-Uqud al-Durriyya - Ibn Abd al-Hadi - (الكتاب/107)

and he also expounded the report transmitted from ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with him—in which he said, “What an excellent servant Suhayb (1) is! Had he not feared Allah, he still would not have disobeyed Him,” and he discussed the force of the particle law (2) in that context.
He likewise elucidated ʿAlī’s words—may Allah be pleased with him—“Let no one (3) place his hope in anyone but his Lord, and let him fear nothing but his own sin” (4).
He issued numerous answers on hadiths about which he was consulted: he clarified authentic reports, exposed the weakness of weak ones, and pointed out the falsity of fabricated material. The quantity of his responses and methodological principles beyond what has already been mentioned is so great that recording and numbering them would be difficult, and confining or exhaustively listing them would be hard.
I shall, by Allah’s will, endeavour ⦗26⦘ elsewhere to set down as many of the titles (5) of his works as I can, specifying which of them he composed in Egypt and which (6) he authored in Damascus, as well as what he compiled while imprisoned, and I will arrange them in an order better than the present one, with Allah’s help, power, and permission.

وشرح ما روي عن عمر ﵁ أنه قال: نِعْم العبدُ (١) صُهيب لو لم يخفِ اللهَ لم يعْصِه. وتكلم على (لو) (٢). وشرح قول علي ﵁: لا يرجونَّ أحدٌ (٣) إلا ربَّه ولا يخافنَّ إلا ذنبه (٤). وله أجوبة كثيرة في أحاديث يُسأل عنها، من صحيحٍ يشرحه، وضعيفٍ يبيّن ضعفه، وباطل ينبّه على بطلانه. وله من الأجوبة والقواعد شيء كثير غير ما تقدَّم ذكره يشقّ ضبطُه وإحصاؤه، ويعسُر حصرُه واستقصاؤه. وسأجتهد [ق ٢٦] إن شاء الله تعالى في ضبط ما يمكنني من أسماء (٥) مؤلفاته في موضع آخر غير هذا، وأبيّن ما صنَّفه منها (٦) بمصر وما ألَّفه منها بدمشق، وما جمعه وهو في السجن، وأرتِّبه ترتيبًا حسنًا غير هذا الترتيب، بعون الله وقوَّته ومشيئته. قال الشيخ أبو عبد الله (٧): لو أراد الشيخ تقي الدين ﵀ أو غيره
