In conclusion:
I implore Allah, the Bountiful and Generous, to bestow immense reward and abundant goodness upon Dār Ibn Kathīr—represented by its proprietor, Ustadh ʿAlī Dīb Mustū—who sacrificed his wealth and time, bore patiently and steadfastly, and ignored the ignorance of the ignorant and the slips of the arrogant, whether genuinely learned or merely self-styled. I likewise extend, in his name, gratitude to everyone who had a hand in bringing this work to completion, even in the slightest measure. O Allah, accept from us this effort—meager though it is—and record it in our books of deeds and in those of our parents and our teachers, on the day we meet our beloved Muḥammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions, and when we meet the ḥadīth master Ibn Kathīr. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
