48. Sihah is the plural of Sahih, which literally means authentic. It applies to some of the Sunni compilations of traditions, which according to them contain only authentic traditions.


49. Masanid is the plural of Musnad, which is used for the books of traditions that contain traditions with full chains of narration or Sanad.


50. Kifayat al-Talib: pp 283. We will point out the views of some of the Sunni scholars regarding this tradition:


A: Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr in Al-Isti’ab: part 3: pp 1097 & 1098 says: The Prophet’s statement that ‘Ali is to me like Harun was to Musa has been transmitted by numerous companions. It is one of the most established and most authentic traditions; there are very many transmissions of this tradition from Sa’d.


B: Al-Jazri in Asna al-Matalib: pp 53 says: This tradition is unanimously accepted as authentic in its meaning by Sa’d ibn Abu Waqqas. Al-Hafiz Abu al-Qasim ibn ‘Asakar said: This tradition has been transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (S) by a number of companions. Some of them are: ‘Umar, ‘Ali, Ibn ‘Abbas, ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far, Mu’adh, Mu’awiyyah, Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, Jabir ibn Samurah, Abu Sa’id, Burra’ ibn ‘Azib, Zayd ibn Arqam, Zayd ibn Abu Awfi, Nabit ibn Shurayt, Habashi ibn Junadah, Mahir ibn al-Hawayrath, Anas ibn Malik, Abu al-Tufayl, Umm Salamah, Asma bint ‘Umays, Fatimah bint Hamza.


C: Sharh al-Sunnah by al-Baghawi: vol. 14, pp 113 says: This is a tradition unanimously accepted as authentic.


D: Shawahid al-Tanzil of Al-Hakim al-Haskani: vol. 1, pp 195 says: This is the tradition of status [manzilat] for which our shaykh Abu Hazim al-Hafiz has said: I have transmitted this tradition with five thousand chains of transmission.
