(1) (N) and (M) read *bi-tannihi*. (R) and *al-Riyād al-Nadira* read *bi-tayyihi*. “He repaired its disarray” means that he gathered together what had become scattered in its affairs. (2) (B) reads *bi-thifāqihi*, which is a typographical error. *Al-awad* means crookedness, while *al-thiqāf* means straightening what is crooked. (3) *Fa-daqqa* (“he crushed”): this is the reading in (H). (N) and (M) read *fa-ndafara*; (R) and (Y), *fa-ndaqara*; and (B) and *al-Muntaqā*, *fa-waqadha*. *Al-Riyād al-Nadira* reads *imdhaqara*. The reading adopted here is likely correct. (4) *Fa-mana'ahu* (“and he defended it”): this is the reading in (H) and (R). (N) and (M) read *fa-naghahu*; (Y), *fa-na'ahu*; and (B), *fa-na'ashahu*. *Al-Muntaqā* and *al-Riyād al-Nadira* read *bi-na'shihi*. *Intāsha al-dīna* means that he took hold of the religion, rescued it, and raised it up. (5) (N) and (M) read *fa-lammā rāha al-haqqu ilā ahlihi* (“when the right returned to its rightful holders”). (H), (R), and (Y) read *fa-lammā zāha al-haqqa ilā ahlihi*. The adopted reading is from (B), *al-Muntaqā*, and *al-Riyād al-Nadira*. It means that he restored the right to its rightful holders. (6) (N) and (M) read *wa-qarrat* (“and [the heads] came to rest”). (7) This is the plural of *ihāb*, an animal skin before it is tanned. (8) *Thulmatan* (“a breach”): this is the reading in (B) and *al-Muntaqā*. All the other manuscripts read *thulmatahu* (“his breach”). (9) (N) and (M) read *bi-nazarihi* (“by his gaze”). (10) (H), (R), and (Y) read *dhālika* (“that”). (11) *Lillāhi* (“by Allah”) is omitted from (N) and (M). (12) (B) and *al-Muntaqā* read *hafalat lahu* (“she had abundant milk for him”). (13) *Wa-darrat alayhi* (“and she gave him milk in abundance”) is omitted from (N) and (M). (14) (N), (R), and (Y) read *awjadat* (“brought forth”). (15) (B) and *al-Muntaqā* read *fa-qabbaha al-kufra* (“and he vilified unbelief”). The adopted reading is from the remaining manuscripts and al-Tantāwī’s *Abū Bakr*. *Fa-fannakha al-kafarata* means “he humiliated the unbelievers,” while *dayyakhahā* means “he subdued and vanquished them.” (16) (N) and (M) read *al-kufra* (“unbelief”). (17) *Shadhara madhara* means “in every direction.” (18) (H) and (R) read *wa-naja'ahā*, while (B) and (M) read *wa-baja'ahā*. The adopted reading is from (Y), (N), and *al-Muntaqā*. *Lisān al-Arab* cites the report in which Ā'isha—may Allah be pleased with her—mentioned Umar—may Allah be pleased with him—and said: “He subdued the land, and it disgorged its sustenance.” That is, he conquered and humbled its inhabitants and extracted from it the treasures and wealth of kings.
