At-Ta’rif bima Nusiba lighayri saahibihi mina Tasnif - Dr Azzat Al-Salami

Definition of writings attributed to someone other than its author

The author, Dr. Ezzat Ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Salami, said: There are many books that have been wrongly attributed to people other than their authors due to many reasons; and there were many efforts and time spent to return the rights to their owners and prove the attribution of books to their authors. In this book, I have done everything in my power to restore the right to its people in a variety of subjects, including literature, jurisprudence and its foundations, Quranic science, Hadith science, history, biographies, and creeds.

I do not claim to be aware of everything attributed to unclassified literature, as this is both implausible and true, but I do claim to have come across a wide spectrum of those works.

I pray to Allah that our endeavour would benefit researchers and seekers of knowledge...

Ameen.
