[82] It is written in Durr al-mukhtâr, a book of fiqh, that this âyat karîma is about the action of slaughtering and burying animals and not giving them to the poor. Therefore, it is ihlâl to bury and not to allow the hungry and needy poor in Minâ to take the animals slaughtered during the season of hajj. Those who do so might become polytheists orunbelievers.
[83] The information about nadhr in Shams ad-dîn Muhammad al-Qonawî’s commentary to Durar al-bihâr is explained in Radd al-muhtâr by Ibn ’Âbidîn.
[84] That author opposes this hadîth sharîf too, and says, “We do not care about the words. We look for the intentions and meanings,” on the 146th page of his book. There are many such statements, incompatible with âyats and hadîths, in his book.

[93] Muslims should not arouse mischief (fitna) while teaching a forgotten sunna. It is harâm or start fitna. One should not commit the harâm while trying to teach a sunna, but be careful not to make the matter worse.

These forty hadîths were translated into Turkish and published by Ahmad ibn Kemâl Pasha (rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih). Mawlânâ Khâlid al-Baghdâdî (rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih) commented theHadîth al-Jibrîl in his Persian book titled I’tiqâd-nâma, which is annotated and translated into English under the title Belief and Islam by Hakikat Kitabevi, Istanbul.
