It is as though his words are arrows aimed at the throat of that ignorant al-Saqqaf (1), to demolish all his books and every one of his treatises, since they are founded upon this crumbling basis and thus stand on the brink of a collapsing precipice.

Let this elevated scholarly statement be a method that fair-minded people keep constantly before their eyes, so that it may provide a sound course for their critiques and observations.

Among what discerning readers will find in this volume are scholarly refutations and hadith- or fiqh-related discussions of a considerable number of contemporary authors and those occupied with writing and compiling, such as those found under hadiths:

(2724) Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut; (2742) Habib al-Rahman al-A'zami; (2755) 'Abd al-Qadir al-Arna'ut; (2656) and (2890) Zuhayr al-Shawish; (2758) Muhammad 'Ali al-Sabuni; (2739) al-Kashmiri; (2814) and (2792) 'Abd Allah al-Ghumari; (2735), (2899), and (2914) Hassan 'Abd al-Mannan; (2753) Isma'il al-Ansari; (2580) Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani; and (2647) 'Abd al-Rahim al-Tahhan.

There are many others besides them.

Readers eager to know and implement the authentic Sunnah will find hadiths
