One particularly surprising instance we encountered was his declaring the al-Risāla edition mistaken where it was actually correct. At (3/ 510), he printed “Alqama ibn Muhriz” and commented: “In the printed edition: Mujazziz, which is an error.” The reading in the al-Risāla edition is the correct one.

As for the attention this edition gives to tracing hadiths to their sources, citing source works, and providing references for juristic issues and other matters, it tends to be weak and inadequate. This is evident from even a cursory examination of its volumes as a whole. And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
