Editing notes

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, praise that is abundant, pure, and blessed, filling the heavens, the earth, what is between them, and whatever else Allah wills afterward. May Allah send peace and blessings upon Your chosen servant and Prophet, the chosen one, who does not speak from desire; it is only revelation revealed. To proceed: These are marginal notes on "Al-Manqih Al-Mazhab," the Sheikh of fairness, which I have compiled from three handwritten copies. What drew my attention to these marginal notes was a valuable handwritten copy of "Al-Tahrir," written by Sheikh Muhammad bin Baz, the grandfather of Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz, the esteemed scholar. I came across it about six years ago, and I was busy with other matters. One beautiful night in Jeddah, the bride of the season, I met my friend, the bright Sheikh Abdulshakur Al-Farh. He mentioned a research plan related to "Al-Tahrir" and its explanation, so I told him that the scholar Al-Mardawi has a marginal note on "Al-Tahrir" that has not been published. He looked at me with a glance... then urged me to compile and publish it. May Allah reward him well. If it weren’t for his kindness and follow-up, I would have left it for an unknown time. It is indeed an honor for me to work on publishing a work related to the "Mahrir," which establishes its rules, confirms its foundations, and is relied upon for clarification of its hidden aspects. May Allah reward him with the best of rewards. I must also thank my older brother, Sheikh Abdulshakur Al-Farh, who urged me to compile the marginal notes, read them, and provide his observations. And also the scholars who verified "Al-Tahrir" and "Al-Tahbeer." I benefit from all of them. A sign of gratitude is to praise the one who does so. Whoever conceals good from them, then he has not truly thanked. Before the main text, I presented introductory preambles divided into two parts: The first about the book "Al-Tahrir" The second about the marginal notes on "Al-Tahrir." May Allah benefit the author, the verifier, the reader, and the publisher of this work, and make it among the means of drawing closer to Him. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
