(1) (H) and (R) read: “We would then either pledge allegiance to them”; (Y) reads: “We would then either pledge allegiance to them—we pledged allegiance to them.” (2) (T) reads: “on terms that do not please Allah.” (3) Al-Bukhārī reads: “or else we would oppose them.” (4) (H) and (B): *rajulan min ghayri* (“a man without”); *rajulan ghayra* (“a man, without”). (5) (H), (Y), and (N) read: “then he should not pledge allegiance.” (6) (H) and (B) read: “he and the one to whom he pledged allegiance.” (7) This hadith appears in al-Bukhārī at the locations I have cited. An excerpt from this lengthy hadith, narrated by ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbbās from ʿUmar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah be pleased with them—also appears in Muslim, 3/1317 (Book of Prescribed Punishments, chapter “Stoning a Previously Married Person for Adultery”); *Sunan Abī Dāwūd*, 4/203–204 (Book of Prescribed Punishments, chapter “Stoning”); *Sunan al-Tirmidhī*, 2/422–443 (Book of Prescribed Punishments, chapter “Affirming the Penalty of Stoning”); *Sunan Ibn Mājah*, 2/853 (Book of Prescribed Punishments, chapter “Stoning”); *al-Muwattaʾ*, 2/823 (Book of Prescribed Punishments, chapter “What Has Been Related Concerning Stoning”); and *al-Musnad* (al-Maʿārif ed.), 1/323–327. The hadith is given at length in *al-Musnad*. Shaykh Ahmad Shākir said in his commentary on it: “This hadith dates from the year 23, shortly before ʿUmar was killed.” (8) This refers to Mālik ibn Anas, the transmitter of the hadith. He did not include it in full in *al-Muwattaʾ*, but only an abridged excerpt. The addition that follows appears in *al-Musnad* (al-Maʿārif ed.), 1/327. (9) (Y) reads: “the two men whom the two of them had met.” (10) *ʿUwaymir*: thus in *al-Musnad*; all the manuscripts read *ʿUwaym*. (11) The phrase “both of whom had witnessed Badr” is an explanatory addition by Ibn Taymiyyah; it is found neither in *al-Musnad* nor in (M).
