to this book. Its author—may Allah have mercy on him—asked everyone who benefits from it to supplicate for him, his parents, and for all Muslims. We therefore ask Allah to forgive him, his parents, and all Muslims, and to gather us, him, and our fellow believers in the abode of His honor; He is indeed Most Generous and Most Kind. I also ask Allah to grant us success in completing this work, to let us benefit from it, to forgive its author, and to reward him on behalf of Islam and the Muslims with the finest reward. Allah alone grants success.
