Nasb-and-the-Nawasib

arranged according to chapters. When citing narrations
from collections other than the above I have sufficed on
mentioning the number of the ḥadīth, if there is any, or else
the number of the volume and page.
• The sequence of the references wherein the ḥadīth appears
will be detailed as follows: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim,
Sunan Abī Dāwūd, Sunan al-Nasāʾī, Sunan Ibn Mājah. As for the
collections besides these, the sequence will revolve around
ancientness and seniority.
• When alluding to a ḥadīth which is narrated whose
approximate meaning is transmitted (with a slight variation
from the actual words), I will suffice on indicating to its
source with the volume and page number without any
further detail.

I have referenced everything that I have cited by mentioning its source.
And I have enlisted the references in a chronological order save in a few
places, like when the cited text appears in its entirety in a later text, etc.
I have endeavoured to place vowel signs on the noble ḥadīths, the
quotations of the Ṣaḥābah and the unclear names, etc.
5. I have commented on all the beliefs in which the Nawāṣib have opposed
the Ahl al-Sunnah.
6. Although the term Nawāṣib is inclusive of those who deviated regarding
7.
ʿAlī I, irrespective of whether they excommunicated him or not,
but at times I have shed more light upon those Nawāṣib who do not
excommunicate him because I believe that that might be more befitting;
like for instance when a detailed discussion has already passed regarding
the excommunicating Nawāṣib, etc.
I have penned the biographies of the scholars and luminaries who appear
in this work, but with the exception of the Ṣaḥābah, the four Imāms, the
authors of the nine ḥadīth collections and Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim.
