Mohammad ihs, good work on expanding the "Is Iraq" view! --Striver 17:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Jazak-Allah, and my apologies for the anti-shia polemics in response to Shia polemics. It was hastily done and after I had just read the anti-Wahab ideas. Also, I wasn't aware till yesterday that there is a number of Salafi/Sunni scholars who also subscirbe to the Najd is in Saudi view. And for the record, I myself have no fondness for the House of Saud, at least not in it's current state (for different reasons). --xx-Mohammad Mufti-xx 05:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mistranslation

I noticed that the last version of the article contained the following narration:

"O Allah bestow your blessings on our Madeenah, and bestow your blessings on our Mecca, and bestow your blessings on our Shaam, and bestow your blessings on our Yemen, and bestow your blessings in our measuring (fee saa'inaa wa muddinaa)." A person said, " O Messenger of Allah and in our Najd" and so he turned away from him and said, "there will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations and there will appear the horn of Satan." -Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilya (6/133)

But the actual narration in Shu'ayb Arna'out: Sharh as-Sunnah’ (14/206-207 fn. 2) says:

O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Madeenah, and bestow your blessings on our Mecca, and bestow your blessings on our Shaam, and bestow your blessings on our Yemen, and bestow your blessings in our measuring (fee saa`inaa wa muddinaa)." A person said, " O Messenger of Allaah and in our Iraaq" and so he turned away from him and said, "there will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations and there will appear the horn of Satan.

I went ahead and corrected this. I'll see what I can do to bring more references from both sides of the story here, but lets make sure that the translations available are factually accurate. MezzoMezzo 21:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
