Explanation of Abu Dawud’s message to the people of Mecca

Translation

This book is an explanation of Imam Abu Dawud al-Sijistani’s letter to the people of Mecca, in which he explained his approach in his book “Al-Sunan,” his conditions for it, and his method for classifying it. The commentator explains that many of the authoritative imams did not declare their conditions in their books, and that these conditions are often deduced from examining and examining their books, which may lead to scholars disagreeing in defining them. The book falls within the sciences of hadith, and is divided into four lessons.
