The Wise

Al-Ḥakīm

The crooked timber — the wrong piece, rightly placed.

Meaning

Ibn Fāris gives ḥ-k-m a single origin and it is restraint: the first of it is ḥukm, the restraining of wrong; a beast’s ḥakamah is the curb at its jaw, named for what it holds back; and ḥikmah follows the same analogy, because it restrains ignorance. Al-Fayyūmī takes wisdom from the curb directly, and adds the usage’s other face — aḥkamtu sh-shayʼ, I made a thing sound. So Al-Ḥakīm judges rightly and makes soundly, and in Him the two are one act, not two ideas. Nothing He decrees is arbitrary; nothing He fashions is approximate. The difficulty the Name presents is never His wisdom but our vantage, and the Qurʼan says plainly that a thing may be hated and be good for you, and that Allah knows while you do not.

Root ḥ-k-m — restraint, and from it judgment and sound making

Computed from the Tanzil text, ḥ-k-m gives two hundred and ten words once the look-alikes are set aside, the figure Name 28 reaches independently. The adjective stands ninety-seven times — al-ḥakīm forty-two, ḥakīm thirty-nine, ḥakīman sixteen — and six are not said of Allah. Four carry the definite Name-form: 3:58 of the Remembrance, 31:2 and 10:1 of the Book, 36:2 of the Qurʼan; 43:4 and 44:4 are the indefinite, of the Qurʼan and of a decree. The other ninety-one are of Allah and not one of them stands alone — al-ʻAzīz beside it forty-seven times, al-ʻAlīm thirty-six, al-Khabīr four, and once each wāsiʻan at 4:130, tawwāb at 24:10, ḥamīd at 41:42 and ʻaliyy at 42:51, which is seven partners. Eighty-five close a verse and seventy-nine of those are of Allah, so the Name closes seventy-nine. Ibn Fāris, read in his own text: one root and it is prevention; the first of it al-ḥukm, prevention from wrong; the ḥakamah restrains a beast; and al-ḥikmah follows the same analogy, because it prevents ignorance. He gives no second origin of sound making. Al-Fayyūmī does derive al-ḥikmah from the ḥakamah, because it restrains its possessor from base characters, and gives aḥkamtu sh-shayʼ as atqantuhu. Ar-Rāghib: restraint for the sake of setting right; said of Allah the word means otherwise than it does of anyone else; and of the Qurʼan, some read ḥakīm as muḥkam, as at 11:1, and both are correct, for it is made firm and it yields judgment, the two senses being in it together. Aṭ-Ṭabarī reads ḥakīm at 10:1 as al-muḥkam and cites 11:1 for it; Ibn Kathīr reads it so at 36:2, 43:4 and 44:4. The root’s other face is human: al-ḥukkām stands once, at 2:188, of judges leaned on for a wrongful claim; sāʼa mā yaḥkumūn four times and kayfa taḥkumūn three, always of people judging for themselves. Al-Ḥakam, Name 28, is the same root — that Name is the court, and this one is why the verdict is right. 2:216 states the vantage problem plainly. Muslim 2999 describes what such a decree produces in practice, and Ibn Mājah 1350 has the Prophet ﷺ spend a night on 5:118. The Name is in the enumerations at at-Tirmidhī 3507 and Ibn Mājah 3861.

Story

In the boatyard, the timber came in stacked by grade, and everyone knew what to do with a straight length of oak. What set old Mansur apart was what he did with the rest.

The apprentices called them the ruined pieces: the trunk that had grown crooked around a rock, the limb warped by twenty years of leaning into wind. Useless for a keel, useless for a mast, unsellable. Mansur kept them, and the yard thought him a hoarder until they watched him build a hull. Because a boat is not made of straight lines. It has ribs that must curve, and a curve cut across the grain of straight timber is weak — while a limb that grew into that curve over decades is stronger there than anything a man can shape. The crooked pieces were not the leftovers. They were the only things in the yard that could do that particular job. “There is no bad wood,” Mansur told an apprentice who had thrown a warped plank on the fire. “There is wood in the wrong place. Anyone can find the use of a straight board.”

He had got it wrong twice that anyone knew of. A man he was certain he could place turned out to be simply idle, and drank, and had to go in the end; Mansur took a long time over that and was slower afterward to promise anybody a berth.

The other was a boy he judged too nervous for the water and sent to the timber sheds, who left the trade altogether and was heard of years later doing well in another town. Mansur mentioned that one himself, when apprentices got confident.

He said the same about people, and rather less tactfully. He had a yard full of men other masters had dismissed: one too slow for anything but the fine work he turned out to be superb at, one too blunt for customers and perfect for inspecting other men’s joins. He did not fix them. He placed them.

Poem

Eight moves into the match, the grandmaster gives away her queen.

The amateur watching gasps — the losing move, obviously,
the beginner’s error no professional should ever make.
He would have played it differently. He says so, out loud,
already composing the story of how she lost.

Eight moves later, the board closes like a trap
built entirely out of that one earlier “mistake” —
checkmate arriving from an angle
that only existed because the queen
was given away eight moves before
anyone else could see why.

Wisdom rarely announces itself in the moment it’s needed.
It looks, from where we’re standing, exactly like loss,
exactly like the wrong move,
exactly like a sacrifice nobody asked us to make.

Al-Ḥakīm closes the board correctly
long before any watcher, however sharp,
can see the shape of the win being built.
The queen was given up eight moves early
for a checkmate that only wisdom
was patient enough
to have already seen.

Reflection

The Placing

Al-Ḥakīm is the reason nothing in your life has been placed by accident — not the years that looked, at the time, like waste. The boatwright in the story keeps the warped lengths other yards would burn, because he can already see the curve of the hull that only they will fill; and a boatyard is the smallest possible picture of a wisdom in which judging and making are a single act. Nothing He decrees is arbitrary. Nothing He fashions is approximate.

This is different from the comforting but shallow claim that everything happens for a reason you will eventually discover. Ḥikmah does not promise you the reason. The grandmaster in the poem gives up her queen eight moves before anyone can see why, and owes the watcher no account of it in the meantime; Allah’s wisdom is under no such obligation to you either. What He decrees is never without purpose — but the purpose is His to see whole, and a decree is often legible only from a distance not yet traveled. It is not yours to demand in advance.

This is why patience is the proper response to what looks, from where you are standing, like a loss: not blind resignation, and not the manufactured certainty that you already understand the plan, but trust that a wisdom which sees a thing whole — its beginning, its use, and the whole distance between them — has not misplaced you. Pain is not evidence against His wisdom. It is, often, the part of the decree whose reason a person is not shown until much later, if at all in this life.

To trust Al-Ḥakīm is not to stop asking why. It is to keep asking while no longer requiring the answer before you will keep walking — the way the yard in the story fills up with men no other master could use, each one exactly right for work nobody had yet thought to give him, each one waiting, without knowing it, to be placed.

Nothing has ever been wasted in His keeping, whichever way it fell.

Qurʼan

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

They said: Glory be to You — we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Truly You are the All-Knowing, the Wise.

2:32 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The angels’ own confession, already cited for al-ʻAlīm; the second Name closing the same sentence adds that what He knows, He also rightly orders.

وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

And if all the trees on earth were pens, and the sea, with seven more seas added to it, were ink, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Truly Allah is Mighty, Wise.

31:27 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The indefinite ʻazīzun ḥakīm, and the commonest pairing the Name has: of the ninety-one occurrences said of Allah, forty-seven stand beside al-ʻAzīz in one of its three forms. The word closes eighty-five verses and the Name seventy-nine; the ninety-seven is the count of the word and not of the Name. Might that is never separate from wisdom is a claim the Book makes by repetition more than by argument.

قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمَانِكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ مَوْلَاكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

Allah has already ordained for you the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your Protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.

66:2 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Given in the context of a private household matter — wisdom applied not to cosmic scale but to the smallest domestic dispute.

وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ

And He is the One who subdues, above His servants; and He is the Wise, the All-Aware.

6:18 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Al-Ḥakīm beside al-Khabīr, which it stands beside four times in all. The partners are seven: al-ʻAzīz, al-ʻAlīm, al-Khabīr, and once each al-Wāsiʻ, at-Tawwāb, al-Ḥamīd and al-ʻAlī — and of the ninety-one occurrences said of Allah there is no eighth case, because none of them stands without a second Name. Here the wisdom is joined to an awareness that reaches what is hidden from the one being governed, and the verse follows directly on one about harm and benefit, which is where the question of vantage presses hardest.

تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْحَكِيمِ

These are the verses of the Wise Book.

10:1 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The definite Name-form said of the Book and not of Allah, one of four such places. Aṭ-Ṭabarī is explicit about what it means here: al-ḥakīm in this place is al-muḥkam, the pattern mufʻal turned into faʻīl, as ʻadhābun alīm is said for muʼlim — so the sense is the verses of the Book made firm, which Allah made firm and set out plainly for His servants; and he cites 11:1 for it, a Book whose verses were made firm and then set out in detail, from One Wise and Aware. Ibn Kathīr reads it the same way, the verses of the Qurʼan, al-muḥkam al-mubīn. The entry’s own claim, that judging and making firm are one act, is stated by the commentators at the verses where the word is not said of Him. The portion printed is the āyah after its opening letters.

وَالْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ

By the Wise Qurʼan.

36:2 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The Name-form in an oath, and again of the Book. Ibn Kathīr glosses al-ḥakīm here as al-muḥkam, which falsehood does not approach from before it or from behind it. Aṭ-Ṭabarī collects the readings of yā-sīn — an oath sworn by Allah, one of His names, a word for man in Abyssinian, an opening of speech, a name of the Qurʼan, the first three from Ibn ʻAbbās, the fourth from Mujāhid and the fifth from Qatādah — without settling them here, referring back to what he has said of the like letters. What is not in dispute is the grammar: al-ḥakīmi is genitive and follows al-Qurʼāni, so the word qualifies the recitation and not its Sender.

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

In it every wise matter is parted out.

44:4 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The indefinite said of a decree. Ibn Kathīr: ḥakīm means muḥkam, not exchanged and not altered — the affair of the year parted out from the Preserved Tablet to the recording angels, its terms and its provisions and all that will be in it. Aṭ-Ṭabarī gathers the commentators on which night is meant and reports al-Ḥasan holding, by an oath, that it is in every Ramaḍān. The word this page spends on Allah is spent here on what He has settled, which is the Name’s claim from the other side: what is judged is what is made firm.

وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ ۝ فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ ۚ وَكُلًّا آتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُودَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ ۚ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ

And Dāwūd and Sulaymān, when they were judging concerning the field, when the sheep of a people strayed into it by night — and We were witnesses to their judgment. And We gave Sulaymān the understanding of it; and to each We gave judgment and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to glorify with Dāwūd, and the birds; and We were the doers of it.

21:78–79 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Two prophets ruling on one case, and the Qurʼan’s own statement of the difficulty this page is about. Aṭ-Ṭabarī records the commentators dividing over what the ḥarth was, a crop or a vineyard, and declines to choose: the word means tillage of the ground, and it does not matter which. Ibn Kathīr gives Ibn Masʻūd’s account of the two rulings — Dāwūd awarded the flock to the owner of the ruined vines, and Sulaymān said otherwise, that the vineyard go to the owner of the flock until he has restored it and the flock to the owner of the vineyard until then, each returning to his own. Both are given ḥukm and knowledge in the same breath, and the understanding of this one case is given to one of them. So the vantage the entry speaks of is not merely a limit on the ignorant: it is stated of a prophet.

وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا بِهَا إِلَى الْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا فَرِيقًا مِّنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ بِالْإِثْمِ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And do not consume one another’s wealth wrongfully, nor offer it to the judges so as to consume a portion of people’s wealth sinfully, while you know.

2:188 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The only occurrence of the plural al-ḥukkām in the Qurʼan, and the court it names is being used as an instrument of theft. Aṭ-Ṭabarī reads the opening as one of you consuming the wealth of another, put as consuming your own, since the believers are made brothers, on the pattern of do not find fault with yourselves and do not kill yourselves. Ibn Kathīr gives Ibn ʻAbbās through ʻAlī ibn Abī Ṭalḥah: a man who owes what no evidence can be brought for, and denies it, and litigates before the judges knowing the right is against him; and he cites under the verse Umm Salamah’s report, which he says both Ṣaḥīḥs carry, that the Prophet ﷺ is only a human being, that one litigant may be the abler advocate and be ruled for, and that a ruling obtained over a Muslim’s right is a piece of the Fire. A verdict correctly reached on the evidence is still not a verdict that has made the wrong right — which is the exact thing this Name is said to have and human courts are said not to.

Dua

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ

O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, keep me well among those You have kept well, take me into Your charge among those You have taken into Your charge, bless what You have given me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed.

Abū Dāwūd 1425; at-Tirmidhī 464 · ṣaḥīḥ (al-Albānī, Muḥammad Muḥyī ad-Dīn ʻAbd al-Ḥamīd and Darussalam) at Abū Dāwūd 1425; ṣaḥīḥ (Darussalam) at at-Tirmidhī 464; at-Tirmidhī’s own verdict: ḥasan

The qunūt of witr. No word of the Name appears in it, but its whole shape assumes a decree that is ordered rather than arbitrary — the last clause asks protection from evil within what has already been judged wisely.

إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, truly You are the Mighty, the Wise.

Qurʼan 5:118

ʻĪsā’s words — on the Day of Resurrection in Qatādah’s reading, which Ibn Kathīr holds the more evident, and at his raising in as-Suddī’s, which aṭ-Ṭabarī prefers — and the only place in this book where a human voice addresses Allah by this Name. The qunūt above carries the Name’s whole shape without its word; this carries the word. Note which clause it closes: punishment and forgiveness are set side by side and both are left entirely to Him, and it is the forgiveness clause that ends on al-ʻAzīzu l-Ḥakīm, so pardon is stated as an exercise of might and wisdom rather than a relaxation of either. 31:27 on the Qurʼan page pairs the same two Names in the Book’s own voice; this pairs them in a servant’s. Ibn Mājah 1350, on the Ḥadīth page, has the Prophet ﷺ pass a whole night repeating this verse. Carried at no other Name.

Hadith

عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِن أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُ وَإِن أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُ

Wondrous is the affair of the believer — all of his affair is good, and this belongs to no one but the believer. If good befalls him, he is grateful, and it is good for him; and if harm befalls him, he is patient, and it is good for him.

Muslim 2999 · ṣaḥīḥ

The word ḥakīm does not appear here; the hadith is given because it describes what a wisely ordered decree produces in practice — an arrangement in which nothing that happens is wasted, whichever direction it falls.

قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِآيَةٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ يُرَدِّدُهَا وَالْآيَةُ إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

The Prophet ﷺ stood with one verse, repeating it until morning; and the verse was: If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, truly You are the Mighty, the Wise.

Ibn Mājah 1350 · ḥasan (al-Albānī and Shuʻayb al-Arnaʼūṭ); isnād ḥasan (Darussalam)

From Abū Dharr, through Jasrah bint Dajājah. The verse is 5:118, which this Name’s Duʻāʼ page carries, and the word al-ḥakīm stands in two dozen records of the six, and among them it is said of Allah in a dhikr ending lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi l-ʻazīzi l-ḥakīm and in the two enumerations of the Names; this is the one in which a night is spent on it. The wording printed is Ibn Mājah’s; an-Nasāʼī 1010 has the same report by the same route through Qudāmah ibn ʻAbdillāh, without yuraddiduhā, and is graded ḥasan by Abū Ghuddah and al-Albānī and isnād ḥasan by Darussalam. What it adds to the page is a posture rather than a proposition: the Name is not only stated in the Book but spent, a whole night, on one sentence in which a servant leaves both the punishment and the pardon to Him.

CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 2:32, the angels beside al-ʻAlīm, shared with Name 19; 31:27, the indefinite ʻazīzun ḥakīm beside al-ʻAzīz; 66:2, al-ʻAlīm al-Ḥakīm over a household oath; 6:18, al-Ḥakīm al-Khabīr; and five appended in this pass — 10:1, the definite Name-form said of the Book; 36:2, said of the Qurʼan in an oath; 44:4, the indefinite said of a decree; 21:78–79, Dāwūd and Sulaymān ruling on one case; and 2:188, the only occurrence of the plural al-ḥukkām. All nine carry the root, the five appended are carried at no other Name so no reciprocal links were needed, and the distinct verse count in Notes on This Edition moves from 420 to 425.

NAMED HERE BUT NOT CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 3:58, 31:2, 43:4, 11:1, 24:10 and 5:118, carried at NO Name; 4:130, carried at Name 89; 41:42, carried at Name 56; 42:51, carried at Name 36; 2:216, carried at Name 90.

CORRECTED ON THE RECORD, THE COUNT: the root gives two hundred and ten words on a hand sweep of the Tanzil text, and the thirty-nine look-alikes are aḥadukum, yuḥyīkum, ḥarthakum, ḥadharakum and wa-yuḥadhdhirukum, asliḥatakum, ḥawlakum, yarḥamukum, arḥāmakum, ṣāḥibakum and bi-ṣāḥibikum, fa-aḥyākum and aḥyākum, yuḥbibkum, rimāḥikum, rīḥakum, aḥmilakum, aḥadukumā, fa-yusḥitakum, li-tuḥṣinakum and yuḥfikum. The adjective stands ninety-seven times and six are not of Allah. Four of those six are the definite form, said of the Remembrance, of the Book twice and of the Qurʼan. The remaining ninety-one are of Allah and not one stands alone; the partners are seven, not the three the page named. Eighty-five occurrences close a verse and seventy-nine of those are of Allah, so nearly ninety verses was a count of the word. FOUND / CORRECTED / REMOVED, AS UNVERIFIED: the desc said the root gives two words at once, ḥukm and iḥkām, and credited the old lexicons with taking wisdom from the bridle. Ibn Fāris gives one origin and it is restraint, and gives no second origin of sound making at all; the derivation of ḥikmah from the ḥakamah is al-Fayyūmī’s and is now named as his; and the two-senses claim now rests where ar-Rāghib puts it, on faʻīl read as fāʻil and as mufʻil together. The bridle was called a horse’s bridle; it is the curb at the jaw, which Ibn Sīda and Lisān al-ʻArab give as what encircles the two jaws and Ibn Shumayl as a ring in the mouth. The ref carried the citation Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2999 against house form. The qunūt grade named al-Albānī alone at Abū Dāwūd 1425 where the dataset gives three graders; Names 25, 46 and 98 are corrected together. The Duʻāʼ note on 5:118 carried a production remark and three runs of capitals. The meditation closed on a banned phrase. rootRelation was shared-unmarked with relatedName null, and an earlier form of this note called that correct; Name 28 points here explicitly and this page now points back.

READ: Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lugha, in his own text at the vowelled entry ḥakama, together with al-Fayyūmī’s Miṣbāḥ, ar-Rāghib’s Mufradāt, al-Muṭarrizī, Ibn Sīda, al-Jawharī, Kitāb al-ʻAyn, az-Zamakhsharī’s Asās, Abū ʻUbayd, Abū Mūsā al-Madīnī, Lisān al-ʻArab, Lane and Tāj al-ʻArūs, all at the same entry; aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr at 10:1, 36:2, 43:4, 44:4, 21:78, 21:79 and 2:188; the six Arabic ḥadīth editions for every printed string on this page.

NOT READ: al-Ghazālī’s al-Maqṣad al-Asnā, which has still not been reached in his own text; an-Nasāʼī’s as-Sunan al-Kubrā and Aḥmad’s Musnad, which are not among the six.

OPEN: the poem’s arithmetic does not close. The queen is given away eight moves into the match, the board shuts seven moves later, and the poem then twice calls the sacrifice eight moves early. One move out, inside a figure rather than a measurement, and left for the author rather than rewritten (closed by the author’s decision, A57: the board now closes eight moves later, from build 182). The report that in the head of every son of Ādam there is a ḥakamah, which an-Nihāya and Lisān al-ʻArab both carry, is not in the six editions and is therefore not cited here.

COHERENCE: Name 28 already gave the root as prevention and said that both Names are named from restraint rather than from two separate ideas, which this page contradicted until now; the two descs agree, and the two hand counts of the root agree at two hundred and ten. Name 19 keeps 2:32. Names 25 and 98 take the same corrected qunūt grade. The seventh partner, wāsiʻan at 4:130, is Name 45, whose own pass found the same pairing from the other side.

AFTER NAME 89: 4:130 is now carried at Name 89, and the NAMED line says so. AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 1–99: the capitalised runs in the desc and the ref are set in lower case, the words unchanged.

IN BUILD 170, FROM THE PHASE 2 READING: the ref names the enumerations at at-Tirmidhī 3507 and Ibn Mājah 3861, gives the seven partners and the seventy-nine without the claims they once answered, and sets and after the dash in lower case; the 31:27 and 6:18 notes no longer answer the page’s earlier counts; the 36:2 note names the authorities of the readings of yā-sīn and has aṭ-Ṭabarī refer back to what he said of the like letters; the 5:118 note gives both readings of when ʻĪsā spoke, with Ibn Kathīr’s preference and aṭ-Ṭabarī’s; the note on Ibn Mājah 1350 gives al-ḥakīm in 24 records of the six, Muslim 2696’s dhikr and the two enumerations among them.

BY THE AUTHOR’S DECISIONS OF 2026-09-25, IN BUILD 182: POEMS 46’s board closes eight moves later, and the OPEN item is closed in place; the qunūt’s wa-tawallanī fī-man tawallayta takes Name 77’s English, the word of that Name (A57).

IN BUILD 207, FROM THE READING OF THE GRADES: Muḥammad Fuʼād ʻAbd al-Bāqī is no longer named as a grader on this page: the row the ḥadīth dataset gives in his name is al-Albānī’s ruling as it is printed with ʻAbd al-Bāqī’s edition of Ibn Mājah, read at Shamela through its page reader, not in print, and the edition gives no verdict of its own beyond quoting az-Zawāʼid; al-Albānī’s grade stands where it stood, and earlier records keep their words.
