Silsilat al-Ahadith al-SahihahNasir al-Din al-Albani

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful

Introduction to the New Edition

Indeed, all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness, and seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our wicked deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray; and whomever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. (1)

To proceed: this is a new, revised and expanded edition of the second volume of the Silsilah al-Ahadith al-Sahihah (Series of Authentic Hadiths). New benefits have been added to it, which I accumulated over the many years that passed without my being able to reprint it in this fine and satisfactory form. This was due to the end of my publishing relationship with its first publisher, the owner of al-Maktab al-Islami (the Islamic Office): first because of my migration from Damascus to Amman, Jordan; and then because I severed all the brotherly ties that had existed between us, after it became clear to me in numerous ways that he had been taking advantage of my trust in and reliance upon him, as well as my absorption in scholarly work. He thus acted in ways contrary to the trust and integrity required of him—qualities which I had thought he possessed.

Yet his lamentable conduct in scholarly matters, quite apart from financial ones, compelled me to announce publicly that I was severing dealings with him. I had already exposed some of his misdeeds in several of my introductions, such as the introduction to Adab al-Zifaf (The Etiquettes of Marriage), published by the Islamic Library in Amman, and Mukhtasar al-Bukhari (Abridgement of al-Bukhari), volume two, published by Dar Ibn al-Qayyim in Dammam; and *Mukhtasar

(1) This is the khutbat al-hajah (the sermon of need) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to teach his Companions. I praise Allah Most High for enabling me to revive it, and for the many lovers of the Sunnah who responded by putting it into practice after having been unaware of it. However, I have noticed that some of them add certain words to it or omit some of it. I therefore hope that they will adhere to it exactly as it was transmitted from him, peace and blessings be upon him, without any addition or omission. Whoever wishes may consult my treatise on this subject.
﷽ مقدمة الطبعة الجديدة إن الحمد لله، نحمدُه ونستعينُه ونستغفرُه، ونعوذُ بالله من شرور أنفسِنا، وسيئاتِ أعمالنِا، من يهدِه الله فلا مضلَّ له، ومن يضلِلْ فلا هاديَ له، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمداً عبده ورسوله (١) . أما بعد؛ فهذه طبعة جديدة للمجلد الثاني من "سلسلة الأحاديث الصحيحة"، منقحة ومزيدة، ومضاف إليها فوائد جديدة؛ توفرت لدي في برهة هذه السنوات العديدة التي مضت دون أن أتمكن من إعادة طبعه على هذه الصورة الجميلة المرضية، لانقطاع علاقتي الطباعية مع ناشره الأول صاحب المكتب الإِسلامي، بسبب هجرتي من دمشق إلى عمان الشامية أولاً، ثم قطعت كل علاقاتي الأخوية التي كانت قائمة بيني وبينه بعد أن تبين لي من طرق عديدة أنه كان يستغل ثقتي به، وسكني إليه، وانكبابي على العلم، فتصرف بتصرفات منافية للثقة والأمانة المنوطة به، والتي كنت أظن أنها متحققة فيه، غير أن واقعه المؤسف العلمي، فضلاً عن المادي، حملني حملاً على إعلاني مقاطعتي إياه، وقد كنت كشفت عن بعض أفاعيله في بعض مقدماتي، مثل مقدمة "آداب الزفاف" نشر المكتبة الإِسلامية بعمان، و"مختصر البخاري" المجلد الثاني نشر دار ابن القيم في الدمام. و"مختصر
(١) هذه هي خطبة الحاجة التي كان رسول الله ﷺ يعلّمها أصحابه، وإني لأحمد الله تعالى أن وفقني لإحيائها، وأنه استجاب الكثيرون من محبي السنة للعمل بها، بعد أن كانوا في غفلة عنها، ولكني لاحظت أن بعضهم قد يزيد عليها بعض الكلمات، أو ينقص منها، فأرجو منهم أن يلتزموها كما جاءت عنه ﷺ دون أي زيادة أو نقص. وليراجع من شاء رسالتي فيها.
