(1) The word *an* (“that”) appears only in (B) and al-Bukhārī. (2) Al-Bukhārī reads: “from your fathers,” or: “Indeed, it is disbelief on your part to disown your fathers.” (3) (B) reads: “Take heed! And indeed”; al-Bukhārī reads: “Take heed! Then indeed.” (4) Al-Bukhārī reads: “as Jesus was extolled”; (M) reads: “Do not extol me as the Christians extolled Jesus.” (5) The reading *anna qāʾilan minka* (“that someone from you [singular] says”) appears in (B) and al-Bukhārī. (H), (R), and (Y) read: *anna qāʾilan fīkum* (“that someone among you says”); (N) and (M) read: *anna fulānan fīkum* (“that so-and-so among you says”). The following is written in the margin of (Y): “Some scholars have said: ‘The stoning verse that was abrogated is the statement of Allah Most High: “The elderly man and elderly woman, if they commit adultery, stone them both without fail.” Allah has retained in His Book a parallel to it, namely His statement: “It shall avert the punishment from her” [Surah al-Nūr 24:8].’” (6) Al-Bukhārī reads: “I would pledge allegiance.” (7) Ibn Hajar states in his commentary on this hadith, *Fath al-Bārī* 12/147: “That is, *fajʾatan* (‘suddenly’), which matches it in morphological pattern and meaning.” He then states (*Fath al-Bārī* 12/149): “The *falta* is the night about which it is uncertain whether it belongs to Rajab or Shaʿbān, or to al-Muharram or Safar. The Arabs did not take up arms during the sacred months, so anyone seeking blood vengeance would wait. When that night arrived, he would seize the opportunity before the month’s end was confirmed, enabling him to reach the person he intended to harm while that person felt safe. Much evil would consequently ensue. Umar thus likened the Prophetic era to the sacred month and the *falta* to what occurred among the people of apostasy. Allah averted its evil through the pledge of allegiance to Abū Bakr, because he rose to fight them and broke their power. This is what Ibn al-Arabī said. It would be preferable, however, to say that the common feature between the two is the seizing of an opportunity. Taking vengeance would give rise to much evil, but Allah protected the Muslims from that evil.” (8) Al-Bukhārī reads: “and it was completed.” (9) Al-Bukhārī reads: *minkum* (“from among you”); another reading in al-Bukhārī has *fīkum* (“among you”).
