When we referred to the book as having been abridged, we refer to the omission of the
chains of narrators with the exception of the Prophet's companions, because this matter
is only of real interest to the scholars of the Science of Hadith Terminology to which the
average western reader is unfamiliar. However, these omissions do not detract from the
information contained within this book, rather, it simplifies it's reading.
Also omitted in this translation are the false statements that he warned about which
unscrupulous liars tried to attribute to the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.
This has been undertaken so that the reader does not confuse the false with the truth.
However, for those who wish to study these false statements we refer them to the
original Arabic version of this book.
In the original Arabic version, Hafez Abdullah draws the attention of the reader to the
falsely attributed statements by using the expression "very weak". In Hadith terminology
we are forbidden to use such statements as an argument, or that it has been reported as
being an 'hadith' of the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.
