(1) The words “wa-ghayr” (and other) are missing from MS K. Noticing the omission, the scribe inserted three suspension dots (…) both in the line and in the margin. In MS T the passage was misunderstood and altered to “Ibn Arafa kullahu” (all of Ibn Arafa)! In MS F the space where “Ibn Arafa wa-ghayr” should occur is left blank. (2) Omitted in the autograph. (3) The person meant is Abu Tahir Barakat ibn Ibrahim ibn Tahir al-Dimashqi al-Khushui al-Anmati, a long-lived transmitter and the musnid of Syria (d. 598 AH). The nisba al-Khushui goes back to a distant ancestor who used to lead the prayers and died in the mihrab, hence the epithet; see Siyar Alam al-Nubala, 21:355-358 and its notes. (4) The name “Salamah” is absent from MSS F and K; for his biography, see al-Dhahabi’s Dhayl Tarikh al-Islam, p. 150, and al-Durar al-Kamina, 1:140. (5) MS B adds: “and the shaykh Shams al-Din Ibn Abi Umar.” The author mentions Ibn Abi Umar in Mukhtasar Ulama al-Hadith—al-Jami, p. 249, under the title Shams al-Din al-Hanbali. (6) In MS K the name is corrupted to “al-Qasim.” (7) In Mukhtasar Ulama al-Hadith—al-Jami, p. 249, the author further lists: “al-Qadi Shams al-Din Ibn Ata al-Hanafi, al-Najib al-Miqdad, Abu Bakr al-Harawi, al-Sharaf Ibn al-Qawwas, and Zaynab bint Makki.”
