Thereafter: In front of you is a translation of the excellent work: كتاب السنة من مسائل حرب ابن إمساعيل الكرماين Kitāb As-Sunnah from the “Masāil” of Harb ibn Ismā’īl Al-Karmānī rahimahullāh This work is considered one of the works of ‘aqīdah in which the author narrates the agreements in issues of belief and Sunnah which he heard from the Salaf; in this case particularly from Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ishāq ibn Ibrāhīm (or ibn Rāhūyah) rahimahumā Allāh. The text of this book is not an independent book on its own, rather it was derived from a larger work by the author named “Al-Masāil”. The muhaqqiq of this work – Shaykh ‘Ādil Ālu Hamdān – describes this in his introduction to the book which has also been included in this translation. 7 As for the translation and setup of the English text, I have done my utmost to stick to the setup, punctuation and numbering of the Arabic tahqīq of Shaykh ‘Ādil, so the one who wants to look into the Arabic text easily can find what he is looking for.Another thing to mention is, that the muhaqqiq included sources, explanations, comments, and additional narrations in his footnotes. In this translation everything which deals with the authenticity and grade of a hadīth from the Prophet (sallAllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has been included along with everything which clarifies and aids the reader in understanding the intended meaning in the narrations. Any footnotes from myself begins with “Translator”. I ask Allāh to benefit the author, the muhaqqiq, the translator and the reader of this excellent and most necessary work with regards to issues of belief, and to make our deeds sincerely seeking His Face alone. Allāhumma āmīn. Abū Hājar (1442h / 2021) 8 Introduction ﷽ Verily all praise is due to Allāh, we praise Him, we ask Him for help and we ask for His forgiveness.
