In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Ever-Merciful.
Preface to the New Edition:
All praise belongs to Allah, who has guided us to this; we would never have been guided had Allah not guided us. May blessings and peace be upon our Messenger Muhammad, through whose authentic hadiths and Sunnah we have found guidance—the one addressed in the Noble Quran: “Indeed, you guide to a straight path” (1). Blessings as well upon his noble family and his radiant, virtuous Companions, whom Allah commended when He said: “The vanguard—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who followed them in excellence: Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever; that is the supreme success” (2), and upon everyone who follows their example and treads their path until the Day of Recompense.
To continue: Dear readers, this is the new edition of the first volume of my book, ‘Ṣilsilat al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah’ (Series of Authentic Hadiths). As is customary with each new printing of my works, this edition surpasses the previous ones by offering fresh benefits, numerous additional verifications, and robust rebuttals to certain individuals who have encroached upon this discipline.
