(1/ 193): “Then a man began answering him back.” This was corrupted to: “Then he put his foot in his cloak”!

(1/ 201): “Otherwise, I would make myself weep.” In the al-Risāla edition (1/ 178): “And if I cannot weep, I would make myself weep because you two are weeping”—an addition and an alteration.

(1/ 210): “But we do not know who Talha is.” The wording was changed to: “But it is narrated only from Talha” (1/ 185).

(1/ 222–223): “Then he places his right hand over the back of his left, over the wrist and forearm. No authentic report from him establishes where he placed them. However, Abū Dāwūd related that ʿAlī ibn Abī Tālib said: ‘The sunnah is to place one palm over the other below the navel during prayer.’ Ibn Abī Shayba said: ‘The sunnah is what has been reported from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace; what is authentically established from him is that he would place his right hand over his left during prayer.’ Abū Ishāq al-Jūzajānī said: ‘As for what they have mentioned about placing them above or below the navel, I know of no such report from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. However, ʿAlī said: “Part of the sunnah in obligatory prayer is to place the right hand over the left below the navel.”’” The underlined passage is missing from the al-Risāla edition (1/ 195) and earlier editions, although it appears in all the manuscripts except (mb).

(1/ 264): “It contains an account of an incident that precedes the account of his action.” This was corrupted to: “was presented to recount his action” in the al-Risāla edition (1/ 224) and earlier editions.

(1/ 287): “In any other circumstance whatsoever.” In the al-Risāla edition (1/ 242): “In any circumstance worse than that.” This alteration was made by Shaykh al-Fiqī.

(1/ 315): “It was not his practice to recite ‘In the name of Allah’ aloud six times every day and night.”
