(1) Al-Ash'arī states in *Maqālāt al-Islāmiyyīn*, 1:325, after a section entitled “This Is an Account of the General Doctrine of the Hadith Scholars and *Ahl al-Sunnah* (the People of the Sunnah)” (1:320–325): “We affirm everything we have mentioned of their doctrine, and it is the position we adopt.” (2) The following passage appears in al-Ash'arī’s *al-Ibāna 'an Usūl al-Diyāna*, in the chapter “Clarifying the Doctrine of the People of Truth and the Sunnah,” pp. [0–9], al-Munīriyya edition, undated. We shall collate the text of *Minhāj al-Sunna* with this passage and with the edition prepared by Dr. Fauqiyya Husayn Mahmūd, pp. 70–271, Dār al-Ansār, Cairo, 1397/1977. (3) *Al-Ibāna* reads: “because he is.” (4) *Al-Ibāna* reads: “the virtuous imam and the consummate leader.” (5) N reads: “who thereby made the truth manifest,” omitting the name “Allah.” (6) *Al-Ibāna* reads: “and through him removed error and clarified the path.” Dr. Fauqiyya’s edition reads “repelled” instead of “removed.” (7) The following passage appears in *al-Ibāna* at the beginning of the preceding section (pp. [0–9]), immediately after the heading. (8) *Al-Ibāna* reads: “If someone were to say to us.” (9) *Al-Ibāna* reads: “the doctrines of the Mu'tazila, the Qadariyya, the Jahmiyya, the Harūriyya, the Rāfida, and the Murji'a.” B and A omit “the Qadariyya”; N and M omit “the Murji'a.”
