May Allah ﷻ reward and bless you.
Another question, Shaykh Salih. May Allah ﷻ preserve you.
Could-- could you tell us about the al-Bukhari manuscripts in your library?
We heard you have the copy of Abu al-Waqt Abd al-Awwal al-Sijzi. Is that true?
May Allah ﷻ bless you.
By Allah ﷻ's grace, I do indeed have a bound volume, a quarter of al-Bukhari.
It follows Abu al-Waqt Abd al-Awwal al-Sijzi's transmission.
May Allah ﷻ have mercy on him. He taught it in Baghdad.
It bears his handwritten ijazah.
I also have the audition verification for this quarter, the final part.
I also have al-Zabidi's copy. He authored Taj al-Arus.
The chain goes through al-Iraqi, then al-Yunini, then Abu Dharr al-Harawi.
This too is a complete copy in one volume, with al-Zabidi's hand and transmission.
And there are other scattered copies with different ijazahs.
But to me, Abu al-Waqt Abd al-Awwal's transmission matters most.
It is extremely precious because Abu Dharr al-Harawi's is in circulation.
