(1) In the original: “al-zindiqah” (heresy). In the printed edition: “aznadhiqah.” The correct reading is that of the manuscript. (2) See: Khalaq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād by al-Bukhārī, p.35. (3) In the manuscript: “ʿAbd Allāh.” The phrase “from Abu Ubayd” is omitted in Khalaq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād. “Abu Ubayd” likely refers to al-Qāsim ibn Sallām al-Baghdādī, the jurist, linguist, and judge, author of numerous works. Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said of him: “Abu Ubayd is a master, and he grows better every day.” He was born in 157 AH and died in Mecca in 224 AH. See: Tārīkh Baghdād by al-Baghdādī, vol.12 pp.403–416; Wafayāt al-Aʿyān by Ibn Khallikān, vol.4 pp.60–63; Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ by al-Dhahabī, vol.2 pp.417–418. (4) In Khalaq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād: “ṣallayt” (I prayed). (5) In Khalaq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād: “... wa al-Rāfiḍī am ṣallayt khalf al-Yahūd wa al-Naṣārā” (“... and the Rāfiḍī said, ‘Or did you pray behind the Jews and Christians?’”). (6) “He said” refers to al-Bukhārī. This addition is by the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him), and the text is continuous with the preceding passage in Khalaq Afʿāl al-ʿIbād. (7) He is Abū Saʿīd ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī ibn Ḥassan al-ʿIndī.
