It is from the greatness of God Almighty and from him that he facilitated for me to delve into the immersion of the hadith of the Prophet in my doctoral dissertation, then I found it a fertile ground for the cultivation of scientific results.
Through this work, I chose the topic (Replies of Al-Aini to Ibn Malik in his book Umdat Al-Qari Sharh Sahih Al-Bukhari) because of its scientific impact, as such topics inspire in the soul of the follower and the student a lot of contemplation and great care to understand the texts and then come up with a result that is almost close. It is correct, and my current situation in this research is the condition of many scholars, not without errors and omissions. Whatever was correct is by the grace of God, peace be upon him, and whatever was otherwise is from me and from Satan. The days met a new opportunity for one of the students of knowledge, for I found al-Ayni in his responses to two images:
The first: Explicit responses with (this is affectation) or (this is arbitrariness) and other expressions.
And the other: The response is implied and not explicit, so some of the opinions with which Ibn Malik disagrees will prevail, and as a result, it will be a response to him.
The first image was only mentioned in ten places, of which I restricted myself to four for fear of being too long. In this work, I wanted to open a way for students of knowledge to delve into such work.
As for the second form, it is the most common in his book Umdat al-Qari, which totals seventy issues and may be more.
Al-Ayni did not, in his responses or in some of his apparent expressions, indicate transgression, except that Al-Ayni did not intend to harm Ibn Malik.
And if I wanted to make a general judgment on the nature of the responses, I can only say: Al-Ayni analyzed many issues, except that I found him close to the truth in one issue, which is the coming (ya) of the call if it has a letter.
