« 1 The printed edition, as well as MSS, Z515, f. 130a and F3488, f. 312b all have Sulaymān; however MS F638, f. 63b has Salmān, and it is presumably Salmān al-Fārisī (d. 35/655) who is meant, and this is confirmed by Bayhaqī’s Shuʿab al-īmān (see following note for reference). 2 This tradition is listed in Bayhaqī, Sunan, vol. 2, p. 291, and in Ibn Abī Shayba, al-Muṣannaf, vol. 1, p. 209. With a dif- ferent wording the tradition is also listed in Bayhaqī, Shuʿab al-īmān, vol. 3, p. 147. 3 Translating wa lā yahtiku sitr mā iṭṭalaʿa ʿalayhi illā’Llāh, according to all three MSS, Z515, f. 120a, F638, f. 63b and F3488 »
